Dang! Another one bites the dust!

My father in law had a safari just like that only white with gray interior. I got the third row seat from him and converted it into sma sort of couch for my sons dorm room. Reclining sears, arm rests, and cup holder console. Ultimate two person video game seat.

I did like it but didn't want to do it again.

As does a 67 or 8 F100 crown vic swap!

I liked reading about this. The van cleaned up nice and you took a novel approach. To bad the 4.3 gave out. It would have been cool to see what else you would have implemented.

After the van died I needed a utility vehicle so I bought a truck. Living in Tucson now and loving it. I felt it was too boring for its own thread. 04 Toyota Tundra V8 2WD w/factory locker. The desert has yet be able to stop it. Deep sand scares me even with R/T tires. I've added kilmat etc. to cover the tire noise plus it helps the already good A/C! I added the roof rack at the same time. Bored with it now but... it's such a good truck. Only 145K.
