I am purchasing a Prochem Everest and debating on whether to get a 1 ton extended van or a 12' Box Truck. If anyone has any advice on either or a good source for vehicles it would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post a pic of the box truck with 6 doors? I'm really wanting to go that route next year or sodepends on your city, if your in a dense area with parking issues then dont get a box truck.
We have all 3 types... chevy express cargo van, nissan NV3500 high roof, and 14ft box truck with 6 roll up doors.
The box truck is by far the easiest to work out of since you can access everything without climbing in the truck, the Nissan is the sleekest and probably looks the best/easiest to wash
If your city has the space then there is nothing more comfortable then having plenty of room to work with, cramming machines and tools in a cargo van is pretty much a pain in the ass.
Only thing I hate about those trucks are that every one of them that I see does not have air bags. I'm not a safety freak by any means, but having a cab over truck, without air bags is pretty much a guaranteed death if an accident happened. They are so nice for working though. Easy to maneuver, short enough to be easy to park, and so much room in the bed. I just wish I could find them with air bags.This is what I’m putting my new to me titan 875 in. Build in progress going to be a triwand set up for me. 15 foot box. Can’t wait to get it out cleaning.

Lol like I said, I’m not a safety freak by any means. I do enough dumb shit! Haha it’s just something to consider, to some people it’s a deal breaker, to others it’s not a problem at all. I’ve seen some people say that they wish they hadn’t bought one after they realize it doesn’t have air bags.Two words: pillow, ducktape...View attachment 79946
Air bags creep me out. Its a bomb in your steering wheel directly in front of you. I remember they were optional or you could turn it off if you wanted to.Lol like I said, I’m not a safety freak by any means. I do enough dumb shit!
