Previa's and Delica's from Japan are great... pre-fukushima import!

Nice, a steel cable\chain should add some security.

I also see what you mean with the hemispherical body and putting the load on the axle.

The early Mazda MPV van was available in 4wd, and is a narrow van,
that would be better for aero, but frankly why a van to convert to truck,
just use a truck if that is the idea.

Any of these builds would be 1000's of hours of work.
This MPV has nice proportions and can look good with a kit...

but I dont think any kind of RV or vehicle is available to buy with such a uniform bullet shape thats like the Previa combo. I challenge anyone to find something similar
