Hot shot with a Utilmaster step van MT45 cummins

Slice half the box off to expose the frame, put a fifth wheel or goose neck on it. The rest of the box turn it into a sleeper.

 

Tag along trailer would work. You would have huge sleeper.

 

1. It's probably not geared to pull a trailer, 2. You'll be pushing a lot of air with it which means bad fuel mileage, 3. Sometimes cheap isn't always better.

 

I've owned a few step vans that I turned into Mechanic trucks. The wind will get you.

 

I don't think many of those step vans had a decent power rating on the motor, may have to spend some money to get it uprated/tuned.

 

The lower deck will help you if the loading is done by hand or hand truck (assuming you have a ramp). How hard do you want to work? It will also prohibit you from full pallets or other loads shipped/received where a dock is required. (see 2nd sentence) The lighter weight of the van will factor in wind blown storms. A van is a cold ride in the winter. Do you plan on building some sort of partition behind the seat? On a good note, you can think about installing a generator underneath and a RV size heater/AC unit on the roof.

 

B y the time you get done modifying it and doing everything else, you could of been in a decent truck and be rolling.

 

With the 5.9 all you need is a bully dog run it in tow mode 400 hp.
