What do you guys use for your vehicles? Do you use 1500, 2500, or 3500 cargo vans? Or do you guys work out of a truck. What do they look like inside. Do you have shelves in your truck or did you have to make your own? Just trying to figure out how the best way to set mine up is. I only have a safari cargo so not a lot of room and I want it to look neat. My truck has to be organized.
Pictures would help.

I use a 2500 GMC Express Diesel. Bought shelves out of a junked van, left the long side off, and used the short side where the long one should have been, and filled the rest of the space in with ones we built. (Specific for our tools)

I'll get pictures very soon.

I use to have a 1994 GMC G2500. The rear diff went this past Friday. I just bought a 03 Ford Windstar cargo van. It has the divider. I just need a ladder rack, murder the windows and a shelf or two inside.

I got it because it was cheap $3k, had 77k miles and way newer than what I have now.

Anyone have any recommendations on shelving?

But where is the ten foot step ladder on the rack?
I spent 20 years on a service truck.
I really don't miss driving a service truck anymore, Unless I need something at home and have to go out and get it somewhere.
I do miss having an extension ladder and a 10 foot step ladder handy.

Oh BTW my truck was always a total mess inside, but I knew what was in there and where it was. ;-)

If I were starting over I would love to try out a Dodge Sprinter.

I ran an Econoline for a while then it was Astros & Safaris (problem with those two are the fiberglass leaf springs in the rear)

I used to work for a guy that bought used vans and box trucks that were former telephone company vehicles. They had some miles on them, but they were already set-up with drawers, shelves, storage. Much, much cheaper than buying new.

Anyone have any information on buying used vans and trucks such as these?

I like my enclosed trailer. I can take it to work, and if I have to leave, I can drop it there, and the guys left on-site still have access to the goodies. And there's one less vehicle I have to have, because I can use my truck to pull it with.
