Find a donor 4x4 chassis and put your box on it. It will look like hell tho Dr FrankenVan -hehe

-Anyway, that is the way I have seen some "conversions" done in the past.

I was going to do it the correct but hard way. Get a wrecked 3/4 ton long bed supercab so my wheelbases are the same and then go about changing the van suspension and tranny, I know quigleys does it for new vans but I want MY van..... not a new one, besides I cant afford 60gs right now.

There may be some issues with the "offset" motor/transmission" in Vans, and the offset steering components also.

Have fun!
