    Cutaway Van Body Lining

    I'd recommend leaving the slats also. Makes the side walls more rigid, less of a chance of denting the aluminum on your box. If you want to use plywood just put it over the slats. Just my opinion :)

    Wiper Blades

    I know the M2 passenger side has that extreme curve so maybe a shorter blade might work. We have the same wiper problems with those trucks. I took the entire arm off and placed it about two inches higher than it originally was so that it would clean the windshield better on the driver side...

    Wiper Blades

    I was just thinking, you said when you were young the wipers worked better. Could it be because the windsheilds were flat and not curved?

    Security Tape

    Lots of places use the tape especially for cargo vans that have no place for a seal. We used the tape at Brinks when we loaded the trucks. If you tamper with the seal you will be able to see it
