What do you see being the issue with CA DMV?

"Convert to 4wd and everything but the interior build is done for $75k."
What is $75K?
Off the shelf box truck is around 65 plus tax and shipping which brings it up to around 75, and then another 50-60 for full UJOR.
I would imagine I am looking around 175 with a minimalist DIY interior.
For the amount of money I am planning to spend, I wish I could go with custom subframe and composite box, but still can't find anyone who is capable of doing this and guaranteeing I am not going to have an issue with CA DMV.

I can offer you a custom frp composite shell but I an the east coast. Might be able to create a kit. I have patented frp composite poptop but that will come later. I have a few projects in the works for a client

My understanding is that if I buy a cutaway, CA DMV considers this an incomplete vehicle which cannot be immediately registered. You must have some sort of "certified" upfitter do the conversion and provide you with the appropriate documentation to certify it is safe and roadworthy.
If I buy an off the shelf box truck I can register immediately and then have it UJOR'd and do my DIY interior without any further lengthy dealings with the DMV.
Once I have completed my RV conversion, you go back to DMV and they change from commercial to recreation registration.
I could be wrong, but kinda think this is how it works.
