Can you extend a van?

I'm lookin at getting a old ford e-350 van and I was wondering if someone could easily extend it.

I've never worked on any vans but it seems to me that it would be fairly simple. Just cut the end off and weld a new piece in there and weld the end back on.

I've tried searching google and found nothing on extending a van not sure if I missing a major part that would get in the way of extending it, but I would like to know anyone knows anything about this or has any suggestions.

Can it be done...yes, easily, no......as there is a lot of bracing and metal work that will have to be done.
