Van Life — Prairie Roads & The G20 Build

1976 Chevrolet G20 — The Build

Ongoing conversion of a 1976 Chevy G20 into a live-in shop van. Mechanical, electrical, insulation, fit-out — documented as it happens.

The 1976 Chevrolet G20 is not a weekend project — it is the primary rig. Ongoing conversion into a live-in shop van with space for tools, gear, and a bunk. Mechanical, electrical, insulation, and interior fit-out documented as the build progresses.

Mechanical Work

Engine maintenance, drivetrain, brakes, and keeping a nearly-50-year-old van road-worthy on Saskatchewan highways and gravel routes.

Electrical & Solar

Off-grid power system: solar panels, battery bank, inverter, and 12V runs throughout the van for tools, lights, and devices.

Interior Build-Out

Insulation, wall panels, flooring, bunk platform, and storage. Designed for long-term habitation and working on the road — not Instagram.

Tools & Gear

What actually gets used: hand tools, power tools, rigging gear, and the kit that travels to every job site and campsite.

The rolling shop.

Everything needed to live and work is in that van. The build never stops — it just evolves.
