   Hello,

   Are you a plumber, electrictian, cabinet installer, remodeler, HVAC.......? I have a Chevy Express  and use the Adrian package that came with it. I am a remodeler, cabinet maker/installer.

     If you are a trade person and usually carry around the same basic set of tools try what I did. I went to the dealership in my old truck and loaded everything into the van, then stood back, smoked a cigarette and thought of where I would put the stuff I don't always carry ( compressor, lumber, materials boxes, jack hammer). If you live in a large metro area there should be several work truck customizers with examples in stock.

     You should post this on the breaktime forum as they likely have a lot more experience with this stuff.

   Mike

   thank you for the input Mike, will do some research. I am in the same position re: tools i don't use all the time, that is one reason the van was purchased instead of a replacement P/U.

   Forestgirl, Will try to locate that thread, thanks for the heads up.

   This is amazing.  There was a nearly identical thread several months ago.  I have no idea how you might go about searching for it, but give it a try.  There were some very useful contributions.

   We had a Chevy cargo van that was originally owned by an electrician.  He made shelving out of the angle-iron that has holes in it, big shelves, lined the sides of the van.  Cool.
