No purchase, I'm too cheap for that.
I suspect the Chen solution linked to is similar to the yellow section diagram on page one of this thread.
My 1976 Ford E100 shortbox (
orange with black tiger stripes plus chin spoiler) had a rain gutter all the way around if I recall correctly (
+30 years ago 1983-ish ).
Perhaps you will want to cut and pull back to horizontal the rear roof drip edge for starters. The clean release of air would be nice, plus you can easily extend it Bonneville style.
With a van the best thing you can do is make sure your tires are properly inflated, such is the life of a brick through the air.
REPOST on air slots and slats..........
so I can find it later.
Do leading edge air slots/slats alter the story line?

And in this picture again as above with the air path moving further rearward on the wing. The purpose of the leading edge slat is to accelerate the air across the top surface of the wing hold the boundary layer against the wings top surface in high angle of attack manouvres which prevents the stall allowing a much greater critical angle than a standard wing section (without the slat).
