Vans & Trucks magazine was one of my favorites back in the 1970's, when all I had with four wheels were vans. I never did anything I needed 4WD for though. Yes, it does look clean.
I had my van done on the inside, but it was set-up so I could strip it down to the OEM ribbed floor, to haul my motorcycles with, and I could still haul 4' X 8' goods in it, and shut the rear doors. I had Chevy, Ford, and Dodge vans, including a first-year Econoline Van/pick-up. Many people thought that was something made in the backyard. A guy in town took one of the Dodge A100 van/pick-ups and swapped a 351 Cleveland into the truck bed. It had about a 12" driveshaft, and it could lift the front wheels off the ground.
Picked up a vehicle I have spent the last 10 or 12 years obsessing over. I’ve always told myself if the right one comes up I would jump on it. It’s an 03 Full size Dodge van 2500 with a Salem Kroger 4x4 conversion and a somewhat luxury interior package. It’s like a unicorn from Narnia. 87k miles, 5.9l gas motor and was under $20k. It feels like my patience for getting the perfect van has paid off. I could’t be happier, and my 4 year old, also named Van, pretty much wants to live in it. 
Now to either sell my pickup, or make another parking spot.
