I went to a credit union here in Michigan who gave me a signature loan for the vehicle. They knew exactly a head of time what I was purchasing, from where and what I intended to do with it. They set me up for a signature loan (unsecured loan) since the price was low comparatively. I am not sure how far they will go you would have to contact them.

Position them properly so when they are folded down they make one queen size bed. I looked at a truck that had such a setup and it was very cool. Hawk Engineering has it on their site but the site is kind of messed up right now. They have a banner says new web site coming soon. Keep checking for it in case they get it fixed. There's a small picture kind of showing it here: 4509GCDDGTA0Csb
I thought of doing just that on the driver side, I plan to remove the large vertical storage shelf behind the driver seat to make room for such as couch and also replace the relatively small window in that wall with a much larger one. On the passenger side there is a similar shelf but much harder to eliminate as it holds all of the duct work for the sleeper AC/heater system. So I thought of either a small home made fixed couch or a captain's chair.

I just took off the roof mounted wind fairing so it is considerably shorter.
