A custom Ford E-Series upfit built to bring mobile pet adoption and veterinary care directly into the community.
When a community-focused organization came to us needing a vehicle that could function as a fully operational veterinary and adoption space on wheels, our Ford Pro upfit team designed and delivered exactly that.
The result is a Ford E-Series transformed into a self-contained mobile clinic capable of supporting animal intake, on-site exams, and adoption events anywhere it travels.
This build is one example of the custom commercial work Chastang Ford takes on for government agencies, municipalities, nonprofits, and businesses across the greater Houston area.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a custom commercial vehicle upfit?
A custom commercial vehicle upfit is the process of modifying a base commercial vehicle to perform a specific job. Upfits can include interior buildouts, specialized equipment, plumbing, electrical systems, refrigeration, secure storage, and any other modifications needed for a particular line of work. At Chastang Ford, our Ford Pro upfit team designs and delivers custom upfits for businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations across the Houston, TX area.
What is a mobile veterinary clinic?
A mobile veterinary clinic is a fully equipped vehicle that allows licensed veterinary services to be delivered on-site rather than at a fixed location. Mobile vet clinics typically include exam space, secure animal kennels, plumbing for sanitation, refrigeration for vaccines and medications, and climate control for animal safety. They are commonly used by municipal animal services, nonprofit shelters, and outreach veterinary programs.
Can a Ford E-Series be upfitted into a mobile vet clinic?
Yes. The Ford E-Series cutaway is one of the most common platforms for mobile veterinary and adoption clinic builds. Its proven reliability, cargo capacity, and serviceability make it well suited for a fully equipped interior including kennels, sinks, refrigeration, and climate control. Chastang Ford has delivered exactly this type of build.
Does Chastang Ford build custom upfits for government and municipal clients?
Yes. Chastang Ford works with government agencies, municipalities, county departments, and public-sector organizations across the greater Houston area to spec, source, and deliver custom commercial vehicle upfits.

Does Chastang Ford build custom upfits for nonprofits?
Yes. Nonprofits including animal rescues, humane societies, and community service organizations regularly work with our Ford Pro upfit team to build mission-specific vehicles.

What types of organizations use mobile vet clinics?
Mobile veterinary clinics are used by municipal animal control departments, county and city-run shelters, nonprofit rescues and humane societies, mobile spay and neuter programs, veterinary outreach groups serving rural or underserved communities, and disaster response and animal evacuation operations.
How long does it take to build a custom commercial upfit?
Build timelines vary based on the complexity of the upfit, vehicle availability, and the specific equipment being installed. Simpler upfits can be completed in a few weeks, while highly customized builds with extensive interior work, plumbing, and specialty equipment can take several months from order to delivery. Our team provides a project-specific timeline during the quote process.
How much does a custom commercial upfit cost?
Custom commercial upfit costs vary based on the base vehicle, the scope of modifications, and the specialized equipment required. Pricing can range from a few thousand dollars for simple storage or shelving upfits to six figures or more for complex builds like fully equipped mobile clinics. We provide detailed quotes after understanding the specific requirements of each project.
