not really vintageholden, I've channelled mine 4inches (he has done more) but it really effects the foot space. My van is now driven like a car with feet out in front instead of down but getting in and out is like getting into a car with recaro seats and full rollcage

doubt that would be legal because if you had a hit in the side you'd loose your foot, and on drivers side the go foot would be on the chassis and the stop foot on the bedford floor.

Anything is possible, but the golden rule is to gain in one place is to loose in another, and the loses usually outweigh the gains. - is not being negative, just realistic
