Manufacturers of Conversion Vans
Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, etc. are Manufactures of Vans, but not Conversion Vans. They make the base unit and then deliver it to an "Upfitter" to be customized. These upfitters are listed below.
When looking for just the right van for your needs, we recommend visiting as many Manufacturer Websites as possible, to see what options are available. There are literally 100's of options. We do not list Dealers on this page - only the actual "Upfitters". Each "Upfitter" can provide you with the necessary Dealer Information when you are ready to make your purchase.
The Van Conversion business declined rapidly in the 1990's... leaving just a handful of Authorized companies. We use the term "Authorized" loosely, perhaps "Approved" would be a better choice. Although anyone can convert a van - certain safety criteria are generally applied to the "Approved" converters (Those officially recognized by the Big Automakers providing the Base Vans). Many of these Approved Upfitters are small companies and do not have websites. We list the sites we know of... and are happy to make additions to this list (See Contact Us in the Info Menu to send us a suggestion) Please contact the manufacturers directly with your questions and concerns about their products.
Links below take you directly to the Van Manufacturers Website. Much of the information listed here is taken directly from the Companies Marketing Materials.
DMC Vans USA - Wisconsin
From their site: It began over 28 years ago when David Mock built his first custom van. Pleased with the product, he introduced it at area auto shows and startled the industry by winning awards for the best custom paint, best custom interior and overall best custom van. Dave quickly realized that if he was going to customize vehicles for a living, his philosophy had to be to build the best. It is this philosophy that would help launch the company bearing his name and set the stage for a series of brilliant innovations that would earn DM Conversions a place of honor in the industry. But DMC's place in the industry is not built on past glory alone. Year after year, DMC has earned a reputation for being the best. The best in safety and durability, innovative designs, quality craftsmanship, customer service and custom designing. It is a reputation built on tradition, with over 28 years of dedication to the people who buy a DMC. Website: Milwaukee Custom Conversion Vans
