Sweet pick up. Subscribed to see what you do. I bought a 2008 duramax and like it a lot. They are hard to find and mine turned up 20 miles away.

Take a look at my build thread on page 3(link in the signature). I put one in my express cargo van. It may give you some ideas. I placed mine more towards the front of the cargo area but it can be placed anywhere you see fit(except through rails). Most of my wiring comes down the top driver...

Long awaited small update... I got around to making a wind deflector for the roof rack. I designed up a aluminum bracket and plate to mount to the roof rack. I had the pieces laser cut and then a friend from work welded up the bracket for me. Just got done mounting it this morning. I will...

I have a 2008 Express van that I just took out the factory stationary glass and replaced it with the windows that Vent. I have the barn doors and not slider and no other windows besides the door ones. I personally am glad I switched over to them although it cost a bit of money. It allows me...

If you can find the right tools than maybe. I was dis-appointed in the guy that did the work as he scratched the van in a few places. I know that these guys are usually taking out broken windows and it is easier that way. He charged 40 dollars per window to remove so the price of the tools...

My insulation is going to fall underneath the rails that cage the van body. I am going to directly attach my panels to the rails so it will work perfectly for me. Totaled up it will be about 1" thickness. It will go sheet metal, 3/8" Denim radiant barrier -> Reflectix -> 3/8" barrier ->...

I bought a bedrug also. I love mine. It looks great fits fairly well(not perfect but close enough. you can actually be on your knees and the ribs on the floor pan dont hurt. For the money it it hard to beat. I just have to figure out if I want to cut it around my cabinets or place the...

Thanks for checking my build out. I have seen those numbers as well. I believe they are referring to when you put reflection on top of each other. I was going to be putting a layer of the radiant barrier in between so hopefully that helps more. On a lesser note! I forgot to mention that the...

Well, I took a week off from work so going to be working on the van this week. Last weekend I finished removing the windows out of the passenger van doors I bought. Still a pain in the butt but I bought betterdrill bits and that made it easier. I have a window guy coming out tomorrow to pull...

Thanks. I might as well go for it. If not the material will just be sitting in my garage. This weekend I started messing with the passenger van doors I bought for the vented windows. I was taking the pieces off one of the doors and Chevy doesn't like to make removal easy. The window hinge...

So took a break from my build after camping. I am going to start getting back into it soon. I had a question about insulation. I have enough material left over to perhaps put a second layer in. Is there a thing as having too much insulation? I still need to do the doors, but even with them...

Cool Build, I have seen you working on it over the last year or two. I am about to get into more progress on mine. After I went camping in Yosemite my progress came to a stand still. How are you liking the bed arrangement now? I was going to put mine right a foot or two back of the driver...

Just a quick update. I made it to Yosemite and back in one piece. The insulation and floor worked out very well, as well as the Reflectix window inserts. The temperature swings were from 85+ to probably around 60-70 at night. I slept on my futon with a memory foam mattress pad. I used a...

Made more progress on the van this weekend. I am heading to Yosemite for its first camping trip this weekend. Before then I wanted to get the insulation done and the vent installed. This weekend I repaired some of the tape job on the insulation, installed the bedrug and changed the oil and...

Weekend work update. Saturday: I cleaned the walls and floor, in preparation for the insulation. When I pulled the floor cargo mat there was some little rust particles probably from metal shavings being left in it when they drilled mounting holes for whatever was in there before. Some...

Not much happened to the van this weekend. I did collect some parts for it though. A guy somewhat local had some doors from a passenger van with pop out windows. I picked up the two barn doors and the two rear doors. They came with all the insides and panels. The big question I am asking...

I second this. Also what seat is that, is it stock? Awesome build none the less.

Hey All, Found a couple of Quigleys for sale. 1 Seems like a good price but I do not know the real values of these things. https://slo.craigslist.org/cto/5157108979.html https://santabarbara.craigslist.org/ctd/5135880944.html

Thanks for the info. I did a search but couldn't find the videos yet. Do you happen to know his user name? In other news I am going to get ready to do the insulation. About to place the order to Home Depot. I am going to go with these 2 items. This is the first layer. I am going to go...

Ventilation Fan Installed So yesterday I installed my roof vent. I must say it is harder on the nerves than the actual process. I spent some time figuring out the location for the vent. The original spot I wanted to locate it was blocked by the cross ribs inside the roof skin( I could have...
