    My cousin texts me saying, "I stopped for lunch at McDonald's today. The lady behind the counter called out the next person's order - 867!" He said..., "So, I yelled out '5309!' , but no one laughed, so I ate my chicken nuggets in the kiddie area by myself."

The only difference is I don’t have the storage over the cab and because I love his lay out I’m gonna do the exact identical layout I can’t wait I purchase a bunch of the materials and I have the van and I’m just ready for the build.
