Ford Van Roof Extension

I m following your guys foot steps and building a wooden roof.

Ford van roof extension. I am using a ford econoline extended 350 instead. All of our full size van tops work great with side or rear wheelchair lifts. An empty cargo van provides the best blank canvas. The sides and rear of the roof cut out are framed with 14 gauge steel bolted to the van roof.

If you do not see a hight that you require give us a call custom work also available to satisfy your needs. We manufacture the highest top in the market to fit a ford extended van of 34 ideal for dog grooming or commercial vans 34 super bubble for ford. Here s how to properly line up and cut your hole to accommodate your fiberglass raised roof v. The base vehicle may surprise you.

Part of the original van roof can be left intact to help support cabinetry and other structures that will be attached to the high top. Raised roof van conversion starts by making a hole in the roof. The front roof van rib over the cab and the rear rib are not removed. Currently gutting the van now and getting ready to make the cuts.

I ve seen the most success with wrecker s yards pick your part locations. First step though is finding a suitable top. If you re comfortable cutting a hole in the roof of your van you should be able to install a high top yourself. In fact in a good hard weekend s work the average handyman could go from truck to rv shell.

It was easier than you might think to add a camper top. I chose to leave about 18 of the original roof at the rear because i plan to use that space for storage. The curve of the roof at the very end running the length of the van is more then i expected and looks like its gonna be a problem when i try to mount the first 2 4. Be very careful with the edges of the original roof.
