Situated in the northern Indiana community of LaGrange, L.A. West has been in the van conversion business since 1988. L.A. West became a GM customizer in 2000, prompting a move to a larger, more modern facility. Today, the 78,000-square-foot plant provides production space and an on-site paint shop. Also in 2000, L.A. West acquired the brand name Choo Choo Custom Vans, part of an ongoing strategy to position L.A. West as a dominant player in the conversion vehicle industry well into the 21st century.

Conversion vans from L.A. West can be found in every state except Alaska and Hawaii.
