    Promaster Volens Curtain-Side Cargo Van Trucks

    I wouldn't sleep in one of these unless it had the roof top window opening like this one. Much better design here by Lamar. Synergy upfit also quoted me $5500 for the sleeper pictured on the promaster and $13500 for the cargo box!

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    It's just personal preference. If I was going to go wider I would just get a straight tuck and do the standard size box.

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    Like the other user said narrow for city streets and also everything pretty much keep it like a regular Sprinter just taller and a square box as opposed to curved walls so essentially more cubic ft and use-able space.

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    Saw a transit last week in the east bay on the 580 with one of these boxes. Looked very nice and wasn't too wide. Few inches wider then cab on each side. https://hackneyusa.com/

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    Well the weight issue would be fine given a cab chassis is 4700 lbs, box is 1000-1200. Roof Sleeper and extra cab I was planning would put it around 7000 giving me 3000 lbs for the load. The main issue is the price, Synergy Upfit quoted $13500 for their lightweight box 14 ft. Plus $5500 on the...

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    Imagine showing up in this with no customer complaints. They wouldn't offer a cab chassis Transit Promaster or Sprinter if that was the case. I need maximum cargo space and have outgrown my 158 wb and need to look at possible options. I like what Volens and Synergy are doing bringing new ideas...

    This is perfect width and height just needs to be longer 16 or 18ft. https://autoline.info/-/sale/box-trucks/MERCEDES-BENZ-SPRINTER-519-cdi-3-0ltr-bakwagen--21121409245556628800

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    So they will custom build to your dimensions? Which box manufacturer would be the lightest, best quality while being economical?

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    Espar Installation Cost

    Yeah I'm on the West Coast right now was planning to head to Texas to pick up my heater in Storage and can go from there to get the install. If I could have someone drop the tank and install the pick up pipe I think I could attempt the rest of the job. I heard Wayne does real nice work on the...

I was looking for someone, got quotes years ago in the $300-500 range, does anyone have any recommended installers that will do it on the cheap or a fair price? Espar of...

    Thinking About Getting Back Into Vans... Most Reliable and Cost-Effective?

    Going on 360k on my 06 Sprinter. Still need something newer for expedite. Does anyone know the current year requirements, 2015 acceptable for carrier's? The price and demand is at all time high so waiting for the market to generate more supply.

    Anyone know what kind of body/box is on this Transit?

    This thing looks well over 10k. I've never ever been stopped by DOT in my 1/2 million miles experience 06 Sprinter 158 cargo 2500. So you're saying if you run dual wheels and barely over 10k you all the sudden gotta start stopping in at scales...

    Anyone know what kind of body/box is on this Transit?

    Needs to catch on to what aerocell is doing and make a sleek narrow box that blends into the sleeper they have. Narrow is key, no need to go wide. Keep all the lines clean and one width and more aero dynamic, some good ideas coming to the cargo van world here.

    Anyone know what kind of body/box is on this Transit?

    Thanks for the tip LDB, I was able to find it here. Checking into the weight capacity and specs. Anyone know if it would work for expediting? Looks like unfortunately they only fit the transit, checking to see if they have a Sprinter 3500/4500 option...

    Anyone know what kind of body/box is on this Transit?

    Also wondering how the weight capacity is kinda reminds me of a frito lay body on the Sprinter. Given the weight capacity a 16ft would be nice to have on Cargo Van 3500/4500 chassis. Definitely not as wide as a box truck cargo van but wider then standard cargo van. Might give a ring down there...

    Have you been to Remke's yourself personally? I have heard good things about them. I'm not heading up in CT area, staying between NJ and GA. State Street in MI seems like they know a good bit, they mentioned your ac condensor issue here. I replaced mine a couple years back when I was redoing...
