Thanks,

Finishing up bumper install and trailer receiver hitch. Gooseneck ball next then off to paint.

Have the windows ready to go as soon as she comes home and then I will start the interior.....so far so good.

Here she is prior to Dualy bed install...

Is that cab extension your own creation or available already made? Looks very cool--has to be practical too!

Not to kibbitz at all but rear doors would be a great addition, even something like the F Series with the extended cab extra access.

I really like how this is coming along------thanks for sharing!

Jon have you found a solution to your dilemma to upgrade to 19.5 wheels? I am on the same track.

Jon what is the wheelbase on your Van??? I'm looking into a similar idea but wondering what wheelbase fits with 42' and 8 foot bed... your van looks awesome.

And perhaps try American force Dually wheels, dont know if that would suit your needs
