Wonder what it would take to extend the wheelbase? Just about any car is going to be very heavy on the rear of that. Otherwise this seems like a thing more people should do. Cheap RV's with Bad House parts are everywhere. The Drivey part is rarely in unsalvageable shape. Tires aren't actually that expensive for the 16.5" wheels.
Kinda interesting. If the bed area was finished off a little cleaner would be pretty neat.
I see potential here. If the wheelbase was about three feet longer and it had a proper ramp bed on it. Like this. Although the white one is more likely.
That's pretty cool for the $. Somebody did a lot of the hard stuff on that. It would have been good if they made the van part just a little longer so it had room for a jack knife bed in the back like one of the van hauler conversions. It would also make the wheelbase less of an issue. I give it 2 1/2 stars for creativity and effort plus 1 bonus star for not being delusional on the price.
I tried doing this with a 1969 3/4 ton Econoline, I found out too late the frame was just bent sheet metal or something but wouldn't take a load. I cut out everything from the rear of the side barn doors to the seam just ahead of the tail.

I didn't say it was a steal! I feel like you see a lot of things like that and people start counting their hours and get really proud of what they built. At $4500 this may be a little high but these days if something runs and drives the bottom line entry price seems pretty inflated. That's why I would classify this as "not delusional".

In his defense, I'm a bit of a hermit, and social outcast, so I tend to forget how over inflated prices are these days.
I've become one of those old farts that gives the kid a shinny quarter for cleaning the gutters!
I hope I didn't come across as being personal... no offense intended.
In reply to 03Panther :
None taken. We are cool. I could tell you were just joking, I was too. I am having trouble adjusting to pricing myself!
pricing is pricing is quite shocking these days.
After years of contract work, and not putting enough aside for retirement, l finally got a bit in there... then my life changed,and my income potential dropped to just below what I have to spend every month! Have pull about half that back out these last 4 years, to meet the difference. fourtuinatly, the car, truck, and wife's suv are all low maint. costs... and hopefully will stay that way for the foreseeable future.

Boat version. This whole rig rolls up into an enclosed trailer at the races.
