Company history
Initial production included models based upon Ford Econoline chassis; the company was also one of the few to build bus bodies on the Dodge Ram Van chassis. Today, along with the Ford E-Series, van conversions are done on the Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana cutaway chassis. Van Con specializes in manufacturing handicap-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts as an option.
The current production of a student transportation vehicle is a 16 to 30-seat bus, not including the driver.
