    Chevy Express Cargo Van vs. Cutaway Box Van

    Ah, ok, and thank you re ideas/inspiration. Well received. Tiger apparently cuts part of the cab roof and back out. That's alot of cutting, but is a nice solution. (I was thinking of a smaller escape hatch, say 19"x19".) I'm surprised that other outfitters haven't taken the same route given...

    Chevy Express Cargo Van vs. Cutaway Box Van

    Nice. Thanks for sharing, but not my style and includes a number of things I'm not keen on or require. I want something more simple/rustic and which allows for ease of later design adjustment. It's also about the life experience of building it, learning along the way, etc. And with that said...

    Chevy Express Cargo Van vs. Cutaway Box Van

    Chevy Express Cargo Van vs. Cutaway Box Van

    John61CT, thank you for your responsive feedback.  I did find one that has a (lockable) slider door to the box area, and the drive wasn't so different than the 3500 extended Chevy express cargo van.  The parking and stealth feedback is well noted.   Cheers, T.

    Chevy Express Cargo Van vs. Cutaway Box Van

    Hi everyone, I'm in the process of trading-in my current vehicle for a van, and am keen to pursue a used Chevy Cutaway Van 139 WB v8 (with 12 foot box), relatively low miles and in great shape.  Is there any reason why I don't see cutaway vans more often used in DIY camper van conversions, that...
