Looks like he did a decent job on it. Not a bad price on it either.

It`s kind of cute in a way, too bad it`s not a diesel.

I think it looks well done, and practical. Big cabin for family, some room to haul crap. The truck manufacturers are build similar ideas right now with "mega cabs", 4 door cabs etc...

I like it and like the price. If only I had any money.

I've seen that for the last moth. I like it.
I think it would be a great tow vehicle. Has the tools boxes built in the sides and the cab for storage of more tools.
I like the idea of using it for my car hauler. Then I can keep all the chains, straps and other needed items all in the one truck. I'm not keen on the 460 engine, but like Morris said it would be nice as a diesel.
The stacks coming up behind the cab I don't care for. Also need some kind of endgate, but a person could build one.
The price is right, but bringing it here, would it pass certification, since it has been modified. They may argue the roof structure.
I like the truck/van. It seems to have mixed reviews here.

Looked at the pics a bit closer. The back corners are rusted out behind the bumpers and the left front needs rust repair.
Why is the steering wheel all wrapped in hockey tape. It has abulge like it may of been broken or cut.
But overall still not bad. Those can be fixed.

You have a real sharp eye Glen, I missed those rusty areas.
Looks like it was a real sweet van at one time.

Like I always say. I'm a bodyman with vehicles. Others have their specialty's. Like some are good with engines and the tech with them. Others good with suspension or differentials Or trannys. We all have our own skills we look at.
So it is natural for me to look for the things not inplace or the rust.
I would go for this, but as usual the coin is not there. Some year, some year.

I can usually notice the rust and most other imperfections on vehicles tho not as often as you do.
