I agree with Bryan. get it weighed. deduct that weight from the GVWR and that will give you its CCC. conv. vans can vary greatly in weight. they can weigh as little as 400lbs more than a standard passenger van (sometimes lighter than a factory pass. van) to as much as 1k lbs more than a passenger van. If its a loaded leather lined high top it will likely have only 800-1k lbs CCC left. I had a 97 Dodge conv. van. it was a basic conv van nice cloth interior and regular captains chairs and a couch in the back, it was lighter than a factory 12 passenger van (factory van benches are HEAVY!) IIRC I had 1900lbs CCC.
So yes get it weighed and then you`ll know. but a quick answer would be, cloth standard height van on a 3/4 ton chassis should be OK. loaded, leather, high top will probably be a no go!
Good luck!
