Now comes the question : To install the box on my frame or not ? I have a cargo box with security cage now . Pros & Cons . Thanks .

From my perspective, it is about preserving history, not altering it. The story behind these office LSVWs is that the 20-year-old office bodies were removed from the Chevrolets, refurbished by CORCAN, and installed on the new vehicles. Once you replace the body with something else, then that story is gone. Plus, with the office body, you can reequip it with all of the things it would have once held. Even using the office as a camper is a good solution as it still preserves the integrity of the vehicle.
