Suggestions needed - what to do with this van?

I went to Big lots and picked up another one of these security van bodies (it's the silver one in the middle):
http://www.thebrokenjoystick.com/pic...escue_package2

I need some suggestions as to what to do with it. It fits on a ZZ chassis (once I mod it a little). The things that came to mind are:

A Fedex Truck like this:

A UPS Truck like this:

http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pi...hmond_road.jpg

While looking for images (Google Images is GREAT for this) I found this UPS truck picture:
http://www.motorlit.com/speedway_mot...mages/ups2.jpg
That thing looks awesome! That gave me the idea to do a chop job on the body and make it lower then maybe try to duplicate that or maybe do something on my own with the paint job.

What do you guys think I should do with it? BTW - my friend is converting one into an ice cream truck - can't wait to see it when it's finished!

Brian

Looking at the picture of the van, my first thought was SWAT Team Van

How about the van from FX:

This site has an image, but it is rather dark. click it for a larger version. It looks like the same make of automobile as the truck you bought.

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I look forward to getting to know everybody here.

Anyway, I agree with Jedi, SWAT van would be cool. Or you could just paint it solid black and make a covert, black-ops truck.

That's a cool idea. A ladder on the site, some important looking stuff on the roof (like a satellite dish), stuff like that. make it look like a surveillance van or something.

SWAT TEAM seems like a quick and easy one too. The "mobile hobby shop" would be cool, but I have no access to a good printer for decals. If someone wants to make decals for me to make the hobby van, I'll pay you for them (or send you a finished or unfinished van)
