Got the van!
I bought the van that’s going o be the chassis for the conversion this week. It’s a GMC Savana 2500 Extended Wheelbase van with the Duramax 6600 diesel engine. It is one of only two 2007 model year left in southern California that has the diesel engine. I got a great deal on it since its going to be 2008 in just a few more weeks. The plan now is to get the van to the conversion shop in Westminster in Orange county for the conversion. Here is a little animation of the exterior transformation the van will undergo initially. This is just a little mockup. The final windows will probably look a bit different.
