Doug,
This is going to be a big list, considering that I drive a multitude of vehicles.
But I will hold it to my Electrical and Faults vehicles.
Electrical Vehicle:

• Racks: Various switch plates and socket-outlets, Permanent Connection units, TV aerial parts.
• Racks: Contactor parts and full contactors, Hot Water Elements, Thermostats, Fuses (M205 and 3AG types and HRC up to 63A).
• Racks: Conduit Fittings: For 20, 25, 32mm, includes elbows, bends, tees, End boxes, thru-boxes and 3 and 4 way boxes.
• Conduit Tube: Holds 32, 25 and 20 mm PVC conduit and 16x16, 16x25 and 25x25mm Neat cap plastic trunking
• Also 2 9kg CO2 Extinguishers, lock-out tags, First Aid Kit and all sorts of tools and things too numerous to post here.

Faults Vehicle, Toyota Hilux 4WD, w/ lockers custom-made on a flat-deck

• Left side lockers:First Aid Kit, Line Taps, Aluminium pastes, Cover-up gear, flares(not pants! ).
• Right side lockers:Live Gloves and Leather outers.
  DDO fuse-links between 1 and 5A, HRC links from 2 to 600A, both G rated and M rated
  Modiewark voltage sensor.
• On top:A tube carrying various Hot sticks and other line gear.
  Two Pole ladders and a couple of amber beacons
• Inside the cab:LineCAD computer and Packet Comms with the Control Centre(saves having a heap of out-dated maps)
• On the front:2 Hella 100W spot lamps and also 1 up on the roof to check DDO fuses(this is adjustable)/

Always cool to see the variety of work we do, all under the banner "electrician"!

Thanks for the replies... keep 'em coming!

Doug,

In my previous Van (when I had more energy) I built a platform out of 2x6 (or 2x8) and a plywood floor. It extended the full length of the interior between the Racks and under a partition to go between the front seats.

The center partitions were long enough to hold full lengths of Conduit, Kindorf and wiremold inside the Truck and there were smaller Cubbys on the side by the doors.

heh~ i built the same 'false floor' in my last van Bill, this time around i got lazy i guess...ordered up the inards from American Van



the only thing is, those plastic dividers don't stand up to heavy items forced forward during regular braking....

~S~

Sparky,

Mine could hold 10' lengths in a non-extended Van. That was its main purpose.

It cost a lot less than the rooftop conduit carriers and held a lot more.
