I am 73 yrs. old...as a lifelong bodyman/hotrodder, I am totally appreciative of the amount of work that truck took to complete, and the level of detail is incredible. You have accomplished something no one else has even thought of, and done it first class all the way. Best of Show! ...Period!

Now that guy's a real genius. Probably no plans. All kept in his head. He's got a great lady behind him. You cannot create amazing awesome vehicles like this if the wife isn't on board.......What a dream!.....14 years of creating, learning and dedication. Thank you sir. You and your lovely wife are an inspiration to all of us vehicle enthusiasts.......God blessed both of you..........All you have to do now is enjoy the super creation.

Retired bodyman and was into the old vans as I grew up. Fixed up and sold many back in the hippie days. I lived in my 66 Dodge van when I moved to Cali in 74' Just a bad ass build Bravo!

we used to call sitting in the middle of the front Bitch, because it was, but the doghouse in one friend's van was far preferable to in another's pinto. you had to sit on the hand brake lever... now that's a bitch. We used to get seven people in that darn pinto. three in front three in back and one on the package tray in the back window. No we didn't go far that way, just from one place to another in a small town, or we'd drag the gut that way. More often than not though once we got on main, we preferred to park it and get out of the car.

He that is fantastic, the detail of work will put many fabricators to shame. Whats even better is you are both enjoying it. A UK truck magazine had a Ford Transit cab/chassis (2ton approx) fitted with a double axle and fifth wheel plate etc. Plus a box trailer built to replicate a well know carriers units. It toured truck shows around the UK. But hey it looked good but had nothing on yours. Safe driving and you two stay safe in these tough times. Thanks for posting
