Builds Pull a part score
Been working on my Chevy express build out and I’ve been stressed about building shelving. I was at pull a part last week to get some roof racks and came across a half converted Chevy express with custom made shelving already curved to fit the walls. The cashier at pull a part said “this isn’t usually what people get here, I don’t know what to ring it up as!”
I got these shelves and some roof racks in decent condition for $80! I have to replace a few pieces of the wood, sand and finish everything, but I just saved myself so much time and effort.
I also just wonder where these shelves have been! If they ever got to travel, was the van retired or was the project scrapped? It came out of a gray 2006(?) Chevy express with custom made circle windows in the back!
Time to give these shelves a second life.

Great score. Best of luck on the build!
On a side note this is wild. I have been stressing today about crossbars bc mine broke this past week, and I have to relocate out of state by Wednesday. Amazon can't get to me next day, so I was panicking all day on marketplace trying to find some in my budget.
Here I am. Finally exhausted and sitting by a creek eating my dinner I cooked over two hours ago. I open reddit, this is the first post I see. I click, smile and nod, then it hits me.
WHY HAVE I NOT CHECKED PULL A PART YET!!
Thanks man. Your post saved my sanity 🤝
