This van was built for the Dakota Hills Farms in South Dakota. It features a 1 ton 4x4 conversion, custom suspension, custom interior with storage, custom racks on top, front, and rear, custom paint and line-x body panels. This van had a 7.3 Diesel, 4sp auto, and rolled on 36" Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips.

This is a rear storage box built into the seating. As you can see, it is perfect for shotgun and rifle cases.
