Aerocell question

Notice the step bumper on the Aerocell?
That will help keep the mast of forktrucks away from the body.

About my Dodge only 49 1/4 rear doors and I had to remove the door guides
as they were attached to the inside doorframe. They were only plastic and would have been smashed quickly anyhow.

For the type of work you do I don't see why you need something as big as a sprinter, or the big aerocell body. Why not just get a regular Chevy or Ford, heavy duty. You will end up getting 500K, 600K, or more hauling the loads you do. I haul less than 1000 lbs in my 3500 Chevy and get those long miles. The last van I owned had 527000 when I got rid of it, and is still running today. The guy that bought my van is using it on his land to haul to and from the fields. You may also want a window van so you don't have to pay top dollar for plates.

Good point Tony as I said earlier in this thread I really don't like the Aerocell. I am about to be transfered to a new departments that handles the 'white glove' sort of clients and will be moving *loads* of documents from this area to places all over the North East. I just looked at a very nice 99 Express 3500 loooong wheelbase unit.

I think you will like the Chevy 2500. Are you going with the extended or the regular? Thanks for the email!!!

Looks like I am going with neither. :(

Having problems now with the financing. I *thought* we had that all lined up. I hate dealing with buying cars/trucks.
