    were any doors left open, such as the side door? I had come to thinking maybe they'd fit in 2 stacked on the left, one on the bottom right, with the dryer and dishwasher on top of it ; ) I drove a 1 ton ford econoline van for a long long time, it had right at ten feet from just behind the front seats to just inside the rear doors. It sure was a great little truck, I did a lot of traveling in that thing (it was my "oklahoma motorhome" ; )



    Anyhow, scrapping, for me, definitely a "the sky is the limit" pickup! I can understand about the benefits of having some things inside and lockable, but I'm fortunate to have an extended cab and a truck box for those "need to lock/protect from the weather" items. Even though I usually keep a tarp in my truck box, it really wouldn't bother me if most things I've picked up as scrap get plum soaked a time or two, even computers/electrical items. The survey doesn't cover availability of another important addition to the tools, i.e. a trailer, or the fact that its addition will usually be blocking one of the vans most important access points, the rear doors
