1998 Ford Econoline Conversion Van Test Drive
Conversion vans came into style during the 1970s and 1980s. Early conversions were simply vans with seats put in them, often with murals painted along the sides. One of the pioneers in developing the industry from the beginning was Dan A. Welsh of Goshen, IN. His first venture was Rockwood Vans started in the summer of 1977 in Goshen, Indiana (the hub of the van conversion industry). He was also a major player in the following companies from the early 1980s through the late 1990s: Advantage Corporation (Goshen, IN and Tempe, AZ), Midwest Vans (Elkhart, IN), Kustom Kreations (Oneonta, AL).These companies helped grow the conversion van industry to record levels and in later years developed the truck conversion industry.
