With the sliding door with two windows it sounds like it could be a (ex)fire 
tender. I know a sliding door was an option on late split window panel vans 
but does anyone know about the two side windows? If they are factory windows 
they are recessed into the panel and if they are flush with the metal they 
were probably added later.
