Doc Brown's Van Questions

[oldcarfan]

Since I asked about the Twisted Metal Van, I thought I'd also ask about this sadly never-produced-as-a-kit model. I'd like to do one in 1/24th scale. Maybe base it on an AMT Chevy Duallie chassis? The body would be all flat sheet plastic so that shouldn't be too hard with a few plastic for sale signs and some Evergreen. 

Has anyone ever built one, or is there a set of blueprints or measuerments? 

Here's a link to the Twisted Metal post.

Well at first, I though that Ice Cream Van was going to be based on the same Grumman full-size box truck model family (which were available in many different lengths) as Doc Brown's truck, as was the original van in the original Twisted Metal game. But as many pointed out, this upcoming kit looks to be more of a smaller Grumman LLV like the US Mail uses. The LLV was based on Chevy S-10 frames and mechanicals IIRC, while the full-sized box trucks were made on GM squarebody heavy duty/commercial rolling frames. I used to have a 90's GM trucks lineup brochure I got at an auto show in the 90's (I might still have it, not sure) where that same Grumman full-size box truck body was still available for the new at the time, OBS Chevy heavy duty and commercial frames.
