These are called stripped chassis? class would be better as a "chassis cab" and not "simple truck" like in these situations for example? /vehicles.php?resultsStyle=asImages&yearFrom=&yearTo=&makeMatch=2&make=Ford&modelMatch=1&model=E-350&modelInclModel=on&modelInclChassis=on&mk=&class15=15&origin=&madein=&madefor=&role= But there are also some others had been listed as "simple trucks": /vehicles.php?resultsStyle=asImages&yearFrom=&yearTo=&makeMatch=2&make=Ford&modelMatch=1&model=E-350&modelInclModel=on&modelInclChassis=on&mk=&class63=63&origin=&madein=&madefor=&role= So which one is right? |

They were sold as cutaway van. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaway_van_chassis |

So i think the chassis cab is an appropriate class for them. |

Then all trucks of the IMCDb should have a Chassis Cab class, as it's the way they are sold (even semi-trailer tractors). Moreover, it's certainly better to keep Trucks, Simple truck for this kind of vehicles, as for now the Chassis Cab class is related to cars. And if I'm not mistaken, this is definitely not a car -- Last edit: 2016-04-10 03:50:01 |

These categories were made for european vehicle, where there is a difference between vans & light utility less than 3.5t vs. real trucks that are above that limit. In the USA it is difficult to follow that since some like the E-Series or F-Series have a similar style from light utility to heavy trucks. Usually we were using "chassis cab" up to (and including) the 350 and "simply truck" for the heavier ones. I'm not sure how that should be handled in the future, but there are some changes to do. -- Last edit: 2016-05-05 18:07:14 |

We can classify this as a simple truck here for now. |

Cf in my comment just above yours, "Usually we were using "chassis cab" up to (and including) the 350 and "simply truck" for the heavier ones." |
