Build Guides
Compare vehicle options, find model-specific references and keep the source context with your own measurements and build notes.
Choosing a platform? Begin with the Transit, Sprinter and ProMaster comparison. If drivetrain is part of the decision, compare the AWD van options separately.
For a vehicle already on your shortlist, check the usable interior and door openings, then use the vehicle-shortlist worksheet guidance to keep measurements, inspection findings and unresolved questions together.
After the vehicle-decision checks above, choose the reference for the question you are working on. Keep the vehicle's model year, body type, roof and equipment with your notes. This collection includes archived workshop and body-builder material.
For a cab-to-cargo planning question, start with the cab-to-cargo wiring reference. For other access questions, the front-headliner and front-seat reference pages identify their source scope. Open the complete applicable source before using an excerpt as a work instruction.
Read the body-attachment-hole reference with its chassis-cab and cutaway scope visible. Use the archived no-drill-zone reference to locate its source material, rather than treating a collection card as permission to drill or attach equipment. Record any unresolved applicability question before changing the vehicle.
The Transit build diary groups examples from the original CVF project. Use it to locate a relevant project entry, then keep that observation distinct from your vehicle's measurements and instructions. Record a proposed change, its source and affected drawings or purchases in the decision log.
