Hi Tony -
If you simply want the easiest conversion for a someone who's never
done one before, I would highly recommend an S-10 or similar light
pickup conversion. A pickup is designed to take a large load and most
of the batteries can easily go under the bed. As Chris Tromley
mentioned, they are great for first timers. I did an S-10 using EV
America's kit last year as a senior in high school and I am very happy
with it, it gets driven every day. EV America is a great company to
work with - they are very knowledgeable about pickup conversions and
will take the time to give you as much help as you need on your
conversion. They also have great prices on components...
