Re: The Chevy Express van.

Because I like the van so much, I found a set of GMC forged aluminum wheels with great tires on Marketplace and spruced it up!

I bought it for $2400 at auction a few years ago and was planning to flip it. After driving it I started to like it, so I pulled out the prisoner cages in the back, scraped and wire brushed off the white paint, Then I primed it and painted it with White Raptor Liner. I use it to haul things for my wife and daughter, plus pick up treasures I find here and there.
It gets around 14mpg is rock solid, uses no oil, AC is cold. I love it!




In that 4th pic, that patch of bare dirt in the foreground looks like a transmission. Freaky.
