Ford Transit? Be careful and don't wreck it, parts are extremely difficult to come by. Takes weeks, even months to get parts. That doesn't seem to go over too well for customers who are dependent on them for their business.
Never waited more than 2 days for body parts.

Just under a year with mine. Roof height is perfect and still fots through fast food drive ins. Inthink height is listed as 8'7" drive ins are 9'.

Ive set mine up with a bench seat behind the front seats and another mounted sideways. I use it as a moto van and as the family road trip vehicle.
The side ways mounted seat is perfect for changing into gear on ride days.
I built a very solid wall in mine, sealing the back completely from the front (eliminating fuel odors and collision risks), then set the front up with a convertible bench seat that folds out into bed. Simply awesome.

I have plans for roof rack and solar panels next.

Nice setup there. Consider yourself lucky on the parts. Week and a half on one here for left front parts and looks like going to end up 6-8 weeks waiting on a left qtr . side panel for another. Insurance company tries to tell me "they'll give me 1 day to get parts". Laughing
