You build the van. We'll handle the hard cuts.

Fitting flat plywood to a Transit's curved walls is where a lot of DIY builds stall. This kit takes that step off your plate. Every panel is CNC-cut for the Transit 148 high roof (2018–present), every aluminum rail is pre-drilled to line up with the van's factory holes, and all the mounting hardware you need is in the box. Those rails become the backbone for everything you build next — your bed, cabinets, and benches all mount straight to them. Most people have the walls up in one to two days, and our install guide and team are here if questions come up.

FAQs:

How long will this take to install? - Depending on how handy you are, this should take about 1-2 days to install.

Can I install it by myself? - Yes! We've designed this entire kit to be able to be installed by just one person (although we think it's more fun with two).

Do you offer installations? - Yes, at our shop in Denver. Contact us for pricing.

Are the panels sealed/finished? - The White Laminate panel option is completely sealed. The Bamboo and Natural Plywood are shipped raw/unfinished and will require some kind of oil, wax, or stain. If you're getting your panels installed at our shop in Denver, we offer finishing services.

What can I mount on the rails? - Since the rails utilize factory holes and are riveted into the van's structural points, the possibilities are endless! Our ENTIRE Featherbuilt van builds are based around the rails. We mount bed platforms, upper cabinets, kitchen cabinets, and bench seats to the rail system.

What hardware is compatible with your system? - We use ¼-20 Rivnuts and ¼-20 Machine Screws; the rails use Channel Nuts for low-profile Unistrut.

Why use aluminum rails instead of steel? - We like how easy aluminum is to work with; it can easily be chopped, drilled, and modified with basic household tools. It's also half the weight of steel and still incredibly strong.

Can I use another rail mounting system? - Technically, yes, other L-track and rail systems could be used with our panels. However, the benefit of the Featherbuilt rails is they are pre-drilled to perfectly line up with factory holes in your van. With other mounting rails, you will need to match-drill all your holes. You also may need to modify your panels, and we would not be able to offer installation support.

Can I order just the wall panels or rails? - Our kits are intended to be installed successfully using all the components, so we don't sell the panels and rails separately.
