I have a friend who did a similar project. His is based off a 4x4 Ford powerstroke diesel van chassis, which he bought new with only the cab from Ford...He sent it to Grumman and had an aluminum box built...like any "Box Van" truck but pretty light. His bed is over the cab and he has a wide ramp that rolls under the central rear door...He rides his motorcycles right up the ramp into the box van for travel. The floor is cherry wood and he found a couple of hardwood church pews for dinette seating It looks like a small delivery truck from the outside. Very nice, but not really suitable for a daily driver...
