My First Van -- Starburst E350
- Thread starter UHAULER
- Start date
With the front fenders trimmed there isn't any rubbing even when turned and twisted up or hitting bumps.
It's kinda hard to describe but here is a quick drawing. There is a "pocket" in the van body. The steps are made of 1 1/4" sq. tube with plate on top. The tube goes up into the pocket, with a little grinding of the top of the tube to taper them. A couple of pieces of flat bar are welded to the tube to bolt through the body flange.
EDIT- not sure if it is 1" or 1 1/4" tubing it's too cold dark and wet outside to go look
The last 3 months it's been used it to haul dirt bikes. With the nice weather we've had, it was time to start tinkering on the van. The carpet was nasty so I ripped it out and put down laminate flooring. I also built a little cabinet to organize things a little better. Nothing fancy, just some plywood I already had and some pine for the front and top.
I'm in Nevada City

Looks good! I'm using that same spray on bedliner for my bumpers and wheels. Looks like we both got a similar build going on. Although yours is looking much meaner with those tires and lift.
I put the van up for sale.

I'm going to take a step back and rethink what I need. I have a 15 yr old dog who can't go on long walks and explore and my wife has real bad arthritis so she can't get around good. She also wants more amenities like a real bathroom and shower. Sometimes what you want and what you really need are two different things.
