This is the best attempt at making a Chevy van-up that I've ever seen. Was forsale at one time but haven't seen anything of it in a while.

One of the members came up with the name "Vuck" for his Econoline Vanup. Whoever did that 2nd Gen Pickup looks like they did some really nice work! Does anything have to be done structurally underneath or on the inside when they do this modification since the supports are no longer continuous and don't have the roof to hold it together?

Like many things I'm sure most of these vans turned to pickups will twist the ubody frame. On our vans the roof holds every thing in line. To make a pickup alot of stucture needs to be added to keep thing stright

Thanks Chris, I was thinking something would have to be added to give it strength.
