If my "cave" had been that clean/uniform, I may have left it.
Good looking ride!

Re: Any van love?
Drove it home for $500 about 2 months ago. Someone swapped the wrong PROM chip into the ECU, so the 4L80e wouldn't shift right (someone put a 4L60e PROM in), but managed to drive it home shifting 1-3/3-2 until I could get the correct chip.

The 5.7L is tired, but is very reliable and starts every time. Transmission shifts well. Needs brake work on the rear, but will probably just swap to discs this summer.

It was a carpet van so ugly as sin on the inside, however I'm going to POR-15 the whole thing.

I love the color scheme. I'm going to swap to the earlier style grill on my 86 eventually.


Here's my 86' I bought last year. I'm just finishing up swapping 6.0/4l80 in her. Then I'm going to start on the interior. I'm going with a 1970's theme shag carpet and all.

Bring that thing to the VAN NATS in Ohio. Less than a month away and not too far from you.
