Ok thanks guys for the window vote, I would go windowless, but I have a wife and a kid, so If I want them in the van or to use it over the family wagon, I must have seating and the window view for those seats. ???

Ok, I'm thinking bay at the back, its not as big as Garrys on his bedford, it's about 650x500 and a smaller window up front, the ones I have are 600 long x 400 wide, so they will fit in the rebate.

Why not put a cargo door with whatever window you want in and keep your door as is then you can have a windowless van or with half an hrs work you can convert it into a family van
That is what I have done 2 doors 2 looks

keep it windowless, and utilise a custom bench seat for the front, I'll knock one up if you like. Unfortunately thats why i cut bigger windows in mine HUGE  regrets!

Thanks Dano, but in NZ >:( besides that, I have the v6 in it and not much foot room in front of the engine cover so a 3rd seat is out....... but know what you mean about windowless, I grew up with these vans around me (below) Ian Knights - Strip Hauler, Roy Bennets? Cosnic Raider and Garry's Windsong, so love the widowless vans, other option is to put the Bay window, that is only 650x500 in the small window rebate behind the cab as it is a Jumbo, won't be inline with the middle seat but will let the light in and would be able to look out it on an angle..... and the rest of the area would remain windowless...

I think a window is a window until it's recessed, becomes a bay window. Then it's custom
