i'm probably pulling one off something like this:
the B series vans stayed the same basic dimensions from 1978-2003 so it should be just about a drop in.
that is a fair point about a rollover though - i have no idea if those conversion add ons are tested in any sort of way for strength.. although the current ceiling is also fiberglass with some metal ribbing.
i could probably work around the metal ribbing on either side and build a reinforcement for the area where the height is really needed by the kitchen.
heck, the whole thing is gutted right now, i've got lots of opportunity to add interior walls that also reinforce via metal and/or fiberglass composite panel reinforcement..
definitely some food for thought, i appreciate you mentioning it..
