Re: what is this called
Canopy Express, marketed to food, fruit, veggie, etc vendors and delivery people that needed a covered space but easy access to sell or get to the stuff they were delivering.

Re: what is this called
I think the originals were built off a Panel Truck body, not the suburban... this is just a guess though, because I think the panel truck would be cheaper and a cleaner slate to modify.

Re: what is this called
The engineer I work with, grandfather has one. I think it is a GMC. I am supposed to go see it and when I do I will get pictures. He keeps saying that I need it. I agree. I just need a place to hide it, because if I come home with another one she will kill me!
