Pretty cool, it is always cool to see other people thinking outside the box! Derek

To my knowledge (but I could be wrong I am not chevy guy by any means) the express series vans did not come with a manual transmission. If it is anything like a ford van you will need to build the pedal and clutch assembly from scratch and pretty much everything will be custom. But yes I would...

I am pretty sure Boulder off road has done some conversions on duramax's I have also seen Quigley's version. It is their typical conversion 5 link coils sprung dana 60 front axle. Like all quigley stuff pretty well thought out with a little tweaking can be a bullet proof set up that you can...

Just received a fixed top with the upper bed and some wall and flooring. before After These vans have a cool stance when converted. I like the way you sit up and forward in them. Derek

My van pulling my new toy!! All of the sudden what once looked like a giant van looks like a car pulling a boat not a giant van. After I got it home I spent a weekend waxing on it and we went to Grand lake last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I am not sure how much the van enjoyed...

YEs the first two sectioned panels can be removed and or stacked on the front or rear to allow more standing room when using the van for camping and not sleeping. The taller roof we offer the bed folds up in two sections on hinges but I could not fit that in the low profile top. Derek

Thanks everyone for the kind words. aksavanaman, you can put two hundred pounds on the roof and still pop the top with out unloading it. You can put more on it but you will need to remove it before popping the top. Codyy and gbail I pm'd you the info you asked for. Jdl335 I just need a couple...
