Love your metal skills!!! Lots of folks here have been contemplating about why Chevy never came out with the pickup version of the van. Very Nice work you've done. Thanks for posting for all to enjoy!!! 
Tech tip: If you don't want the pics to get cut off, just change the pixel settings to 640 before importing them.

engine moved back so I could use a bench seat. fake tool box acts as a partial dog house for engine.

Very cool work, I also like the way the back of the truck slants down like the old COE ramp trucks! Love seeing out of the box thinking like this!!!
