EdsTowing Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We had to replace our service truck so we decided to start with a "clean slate". I wanted something to use for our road service, our accident clean up response as well as traffic control to deal with people that don't move over. We thought about a couple of directions and decided on this route... 2018 Ford Transit 250 Van. 1st order is to tint it down a little...lot of glass... Then we sent it out to have a Interior Shelf unit & divider panel installed... Went with a composite divider to keep noise & fumes out. Not sure why the picture size has been limited that I can only get these loaded so I'll continue on another post.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdsTowing Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Yea I want to put more pics in to show the set up. It's getting a Start-All/Compressor system and a flip up LED message board for traffic control on the roof. It should be pretty nice when done....

dperone Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Looks awesome so far, can't wait to see the finished product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdsTowing Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Radio installed... Stock up on absorbent supplies... New Stihl gas chain saw, electric chain saw & K2 cut saw... Drawer assortments filled with hardware, fittings & misc. small parts. We added a collapsible latter & made a rack system for the hand tools... We have a power inverter to install & the chargers for the Milwaukee tools that are going in the locked cabinet in an organizer. We are making a seperate battery box & circuit protection system for the rear of the van to keep all of the lighting & power center separate from the chassis. I'll update when we get a little more done... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got most of the interior done. The sign board should be on this week...waiting for custom air tanks that should be in this week...

Stuart Wagner Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Looks real nice Ed. A local shop has one of those as a service van for doing road work and trans went out. Large Ford dealer had it a month so far, trans is on backorder. Did you look under it? You need to drop the engine and trans and subframe out the bottom as a unit. Can't just remove the trans. Hopefully you have better luck!! Quote Check out our website at: www.cjwagnerinc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERIOR35 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Looks great Ed. Very professional. Better check the loaded weight. My F450’s barely make weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdsTowing Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 We started a new "Project Emergency Response Truck" and it got me thinking about this one. Just for a follow up, this van has billed around $165,000 in the last 2 years and is still in "As New" condition. If anyone is considering a specialty vehicle like this but are on the "fence"...It's a true profit center if marketed & used right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
