In November of 2024, I started posting about building out my base cargo as a camper van. I'm happy to report today, almost a year later, the build is 80 - 90% complete.

Pictures attached. I'm grateful to the many contributors on this forum, you know who you are, for subject matter expert advice and general reminiscing about possibilities. I had a dream, and less than a year later, it has come to fruition. TBH, getting here was highly dependent on finding an upfitter. I live in central NC, so if anyone is regionally proximate, and would like a lead, send me a DM. Also, N.B., if you're reading this, thank you!
Without further ado, here's the pics!!!
