One of the best vans I ever had was a Ford passenger van with a full set of windows like that. The all had the hinges on them to allow for them to pop open from the bottom. The airflow that allowed for would evacuate the heat better than any roof vent ever can. I miss that van still today.

We have 1-window van, its a 1-ton. Nice truck, this is an old picture it now has the new logo.
nice van, i prefer the looks of the Ford -vs- GM. ppl say it is more solidly built to.
BUTT, the rear end of an extended Ford looks plain silly, so i went with another GM.
EDIT** opps sorry Rico for appearing to blast your van, i didn't see your reply.

You really need to get away from the black.
It's just too dark.
It gives off dark, sinister vibes.

What did you do with the rear air?
Becker
Member
All the venting for rear air and heat is in the ceiling.
I leave it all. The head liner alone makes fir good insulation in the winter.

Don clamp a dryer exhaust hose on the main air flow plumbing. Run to drivers seat for double cooling.
Did this on my old dodge pass van. Nice in summer

Thinking at the very least some of that hole punched vinyls of it will look more like a cargo from the outside.
Getting quotes now on lettering.
Becker

Love it!! I might look at option of doing something like that. But clearer looking than dryer duct.
Awesome idea!
Hmm. My 06 is also a window van.

Just got a 2011 E250 and am really starting to like it. Totally different than a Dodge. Freaking sun in the morning is a bitch, but whatever. Sounds like an oil can when you hit bumps. Don't know what that's about but it's a nice van.

Having enough problems fitting everything in and having crammed shelves and tons of things hanging from and attached to the walls.
How do you guys deal with the storage if you have all these windows?

Only comment I get from customers is "Sharp Looking Van"

All that glass is not good in climates that have real winters.
I have one too love the the ceiling seat belts for hanging tools. Dont ever try to put a direct drive in a passenger van they have some safety switch that shuts them off when they are running idle for long periods of time. Seems you can always get them cheaper too.

From the days when Ford vans actually looked pretty. Sigh.

Since their turn over is so great. It makes iit easier for new tech to see when backing up.

They use them because they are cheaper for insurance and when you have a thousand of those vans running, its good to save a few bucks.
You guys are high if you think a window van look less professional.. that van looks better than most O/O vans.. How many years did you run with that hoopty Dave?
