sounds like some of the moduled equip we had in tac forces in the air
force.  put a module up on a truck bed and you changed what it was from
a fuel hauler to a command center to a comm center or whatever.  made
me wonder if it would be possible to somehow convert  a vanagon westy
interior to quick change modules.
