MAX.....

That is nice,

But, how much more is a window in the side door..........

Am the only one?

I know more windows are a security issue........but.......you don't want to be in that right hand lane, when I decide to move over....:D

Make your own customized shelves out of perferated angle and ply wood.

Pick up some blind spot mirrors

[maxster]

get those round FISH eye mirrors for the passenger side door mounted mirror and work those you looking for some seriuos air bag action if you actually turn your head to see who is in the right lane at 65MPH.driving round here and looking tooooo long at that right side fish eye can can cause a rear-ender.

Go to American Van and get a long tube light for the back and freon rack. Then get some plexy glass and stop up those holes behind the seat in the safety wall.

That space between the racks on the GM looks tight. Looks like a lot of wasted space behind that rack on the right which also closes the space in the middle.

If you decide to fill those shelves, you better make sure your van has a blue oval emblem on it, that toilet will be like riding a lawnmower dragging a tree trunk. :D

My bin package on the right side is up against the wall and anchored to a horizontal strengthening brace that runs horizontal along the length of the E250 which gives more room in the middle.

I can see why the bin is out so far from the wall now that. Iit looks like GM used a metal break instead of a real brace

Those are nice shelfs, but the only problem they weigh a ton.....plus when you load them up with stock....OUCH....I have one of those trucks, and bin package, started off 18 mpg street, 21 hwy.... after loaded 11 mpg street, light weigh shelfing is the way to go.

I have the same setup and I did get the 3 tier freon rack and it fits on the back left and works very well

The only way you can move the shelf on the right towards the back of the van would be to relocate the jack assembly, Not a lot of places for that

That's why E-250's rule!

Cheap and functional shelving. Upside down wire closet shelving. The truck also has a running water tap over the rear bumper http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9473/dirtbikeandtruck030wd9.jpg

djs. Nice work and very practical. I think it all depends on the person. I can neatly stock and secure twice the stuff in half the space. Half of the guys I work with carry more clutter and garbage. Can't find anything. If they do, it's dirty or damaged. Sucks to have any liquid, glue etc spill needlessly. Gotta be able to enter the van without trampling stuff. Boss peeks into vans randomly. Gets upset when guys never clean out garbage. Gets really pissed when company tools "disappear" for weeks under someones clutter. Raises hell when recovery machines break from "tumbling" around. God forbid one of us breaks his own tool. Comes-a-runnin' to the boss, demanding reimbursement. I drive an '05 3/4 ton GMC. Love it, especially with the ladder racks that tilt down the side.
