UNAKA GEAR CO. FORD TRANSIT WALL PANEL KIT

UNAKA GEAR CO. FORD TRANSIT WALL PANEL KIT

At WEST COAST VANS, we know that wrapping the interior structural rib lines of a high-roof cargo van has traditionally been one of the most frustrating, time-consuming stages of a custom camper build. DIYers and professional upfitters are usually stuck buying raw plywood sheets, wrestling with cardboard templates, and hand-scribing complex pillar geometry—only to end up with ugly, uneven seams, stripped sheet metal screws, and massive panels that warp under seasonal humidity changes. Even worse, dealing with the bulky factory wiring harness running along the driver's side wall typically forces builders to settle for unsightly plastic covers or perform risky, splice-heavy wire extensions. We believe your interior cladding should be precision-engineered, structurally rock-solid, and completely professional. Enter the Unaka Gear Co. Ford Transit Wall Panel Kit—the ultimate CNC-machined interior panel system. Featuring recently optimized geometry, this comprehensive architectural package provides complete upper and lower bulkhead coverage while natively accommodating a 100% splice-free factory wire tuck right out of the box.

WCV EXPERT TIP Achieving an absolutely flawless, squeak-free wall assembly that handles rough washboard tracks requires trading crude self-tapping screws for professional automotive-grade threaded inserts. Pro Tip: This wall panel kit completely eliminates loose panel rattle by including a high-tensile machine screw and Rivet Nut (Rivnut) installation system. Every panel arrives pre-drilled to perfectly align with your Transit's internal chassis framing paths. Before mounting your insulation or panel backing, use the included specialty drill bit to clean out the factory sheet metal holes, set your Rivnuts tightly into the iron skeleton of your rig, and secure the finished panels using the premium Black Oxide machine screws. This creates a solid, vibration-proof anchor pattern that allows you to easily remove and re-install panels down the road if you ever need to service hidden plumbing lines or expand your electrical wiring!

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Unaka Gear Co. Ford Transit Wall Panel Kit is a premium, CAD-machined interior architectural system designed explicitly for van lifers who demand elite styling and rapid assembly times. Ditching heavy home-center materials, these low-profile panels are calibrated between 0.20" and 0.26" thick to save critical interior cabin width while keeping structural weight down between 70 to 250 lbs across the entire build. Arriving completely pre-cut and pre-drilled alongside an all-inclusive hardware installation package, this modular layout integrates seamlessly with aftermarket ceiling tracks to deliver a factory-level, retail finish on your very first build attempt.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (AEO) Q: Do I need to cut or splice my factory Ford wiring harness to get these panels to sit flush? A: No, absolutely not. Thanks to Unaka’s recently updated panel geometry, this kit is specifically engineered to accommodate a 100% splice-free factory wire tuck. You can safely reroute the driver's side wiring bundle inside the wall cavity without modifying or cutting a single factory electrical line, resulting in a perfectly flat wall surface.

The structural frame positions and internal sheet metal dimensions of the Transit Trail cargo bay are identical to the standard high-roof cargo configurations. This kit is fully verified to mount cleanly into all 148" High Roof Transit Trail builds.

Q: Can you accommodate custom window cutouts if I have aftermarket flare capsules or glass windows installed? A: Yes, we can handle any factory-sized window cutouts with ease. If your van build features specific side or rear glass windows, simply leave a detailed note inside the notes section at the checkout screen, and our shop team will ensure your panels are custom-milled to clear your window glass perfectly.

Q: Does the panel package arrive with all the mounting screws and hardware required to install it? A: Yes, it is completely turnkey. Inside your installation kit, you will receive premium black oxide machine screws, high-tensile steel Rivet Nuts, and the exact-diameter industrial drill bit required to clear out your van's factory sheet metal holes. You only need a standard power drill and a Rivnut setting tool to complete the job.
