Congrats on your first post here!

That looks like it`s coming together nicely. Please feel free to post more pics. Maybe include some more shots of the rest of your detailing arsenal?

is that an enclosed utility bed, KUV, or what? I`ve eyed these kind of trucks at work or years now. PLENTY of room for sure. Nice choice

I work for a commercial truck and van dealership and I knew it was one of the two. We`ve actually built a few KUVs for people. Not a fun task lol. Being a Knapheide bed dealer, we have to do things like that from time to time.

Was looking into the enclosed van, truck too. Also looking into the Spartan Service Bodies. In an enclosed everything is protected from the elements and thieves (for the most part). IMO it would benefit me and my Detailing and pressure washing services.

Its a KUV, most likely a Chevy or Ford. Its basically a 3/4 ton cargo van that is cut behind the front seats and a large ulility bed installed.

Looks like you can put everything in there but the kitchen sink.

If I was to set up a mobile rig, I think I would go for a 12ft box truck. We get entire fleets of retired Budget Rentals trucks at work, and from my measurements, they would be perfect. Easy to drive and maneuver, lots of room, and you have a 12 foot rolling billboard on each side. KUVs are very nice too, but they are hard to find and VERY hard (and expensive) to build. If your out of room in the cargo van, your best option is either a trailer to pull behind it, or a bigger vehicle all together such as a box truck.
