    Hell yeah that would be so awesome! Ours is probably going to be around 20" to 24" because we plan on mounting a cabinet unit on one side. My wife and I are both pretty short as well (makes this while process easier). I've seen one wood slat top that instagram user @thebuslife has that's nice...

    Update: After about a month living in the van, we have decided that we love it. The search for an affordable high-top has not been easy. In fact, we have decided to take an alternate route. We are going to build one. After much  research and planning, we have a very good idea of what we are...

    Good sources for full-length High-Tops?

    Thanks! Yeah I've been keeping an eye out and asking any time I see one. I've found a few on CL that i may pick up and scrap the rest, as they don't run.

    Dajiban is what the Japanese call dodge vans. They take this model (short body) and track race them. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Ahahaha DUDE I have never met anyone that knows that term. That's what I'm calling it because it literally just means dodge van, however a locked diff and a turbo would do it some justice! However it's going to be my house for now. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Good sources for full-length High-Tops?

    I have a 2001 B3500 and have been hunting craigslist, ebay, and all of the internet for a high-top. Preferably a 24" with windows, with a flat top (plans to mount a roof rack are in my future). Ive contacted Fiberine and hear they are fantastic, except for the fact that they are wicked...
