Wouldn't it have been easier to find a passenger van with a good body and just swap the body over to your frame? If you like how your van drives, then you'd retain that with the frame/running gear swap and get the OEM passenger setup without too many hassles.

Plus you have to deal with all the legal crap too when doing the body swap. You are basically changing the VIN #. So you no longer would have matching #'s on the body and frame. Which could also turn into a crap show if you ever wanted to sell it. So doing it legally usually involves a bunch of paper work, inspections , etc. The exact process depends on the laws in your local area.
