I'll show the whole conversion as we go. I drive from my chair so the lift will pick me up and put me behind the steering wheel.
The first part we need to make is a large ( 6" square 5.5 foot long ) telescope. This will support my lift and both front and back doors. To make the telescope slide easily we decided to use skateboard wheels as rollers so we made some brackets and axles. Then we cut some holes in one end of each tube and welded the brackets in place.
