Dirt Van Overland Parts List for Your DIY Van Build
Simple, strong, practical and easy to source — that’s what we wanted from our van build hardware. After building and using these cupboards ourselves, we know these parts work.
This parts list helps keep the cost of your DIY build down by taking out the middleman where we can. Rather than purchasing specialised components through a van conversion supplier, we’ve selected readily available hardware that you can source yourself at competitive prices.
For parts available from Bunnings Warehouse, you can simply pick them up in-store or order online. This means you can build your cupboards using the same tried-and-tested components we use, without paying extra for covertly unique van conversion hardware.
The parts below are the hardware we use and recommend for our cupboard and cabinet designs — practical, easy to source and easy to install.
Some parts are used across both the overhead cupboards and under-bench cabinets, while others are specific to each setup. We’ve separated the lists below into online parts and Bunnings parts, so you can work through the list and order what you need for your build.
