i can have a G van body off the frame in about 48 minutes. it is not hard. do about 10 of them and they are cake.

4X4 vans are not an OE option(aside from a few express units in 05+), they are all conversions.
they start out as a 2wd van, then have the axle and tcase installed.
quigley is the best ones i have seen do the work, but even then there is still some rigged things on them.
