two different animals... the van looked pretty well done this is a diamond in the rough... half the fun of owning is working on it.... this will turn out better than the first... what are the plans?

Re: traded my van for this 84
 

right now just a lot of cleaning and fixing

Re: traded my van for this 84
 

Well...I'm not a van fan so I'd say congrats on the truck. ;)

Re: traded my van for this 84
 

make a list of parts that you want. and then hit every junk yard around for 50 miles there are a lot of those truck at the salvage yards right now because of the cash for clunkers deal.

:metal: The truck will be a whole lot better and easier to work on

Re: traded my van for this 84
 

I think you made a great choice. Agree, much easier to work on.

Re: traded my van for this 84
 

clean van...but good choice...You wont regret it.

I hope the owner did not run the track with same air filter. The air filter is choking the engine. Install at minimum a 4" filter. I suggest a 4.5" K&N. I bet you'll notice the difference.

I like the slicks in the bed. :metal:

You'll have a lot more fun with the truck! It'll last longer too!!!!:metal:

Re: traded my van for this 84
 

My opinion is you made a great trade. I'm just not into the Astro vans, however, yours looked pretty nice. Like Joe231 said Welcome to the boards, and make sure and make your way over to the Oklahoma section.

I hate astro vans, because they suck to work on and most of my shoes are too wide to fit between the dog house and brake peddle. I've never had that problem in a truck! You can do the same work to the truck and it will look better because it is a truck. Nice trade.
