Check the auctions in the area. You can get a great deal if you hunt.

Like a pedo van or what exactly are you looking for here?

You want a reefer unit or a regular box truck.

Look into Ford Transits. Much better economy than a regular panel van and can move just about as much. A friend with an electronics delivery company just switched from 16 ft vans to mid rook Transits and is very satisfied.

We have about a half dozen for commercial use, I think all are old rentals. Usually buy below 8800 GVWR so a CDL isn't necessary.

They had some at an auction here last weekend going for like $1500.

UD (Nissan) parts are hard as hell to come by. GMC Savana conversions are a good choice.

Below 26000 gvrw no cdl, but need a class D.
I have a couple internationals that work good for me.
Get as short of a wheelbase as possible for the box you need.
Get 2007 or earlier for least emission bs.
Truckpaper dot com is your site for viewing pleasure and probably purchase.
