Vemco Vx4 (Van)
Yes, I know, it's a van.. But wanted to share anyway. Have seen a 71 before (in a thread on the 67-72 side of the house), but never a squarebody era conversion. Unique dual front diff arrangement. On CL at the moment: https://wichitafalls.craigslist.org/...456252344.html

Re: Vemco Vx4 (Van)
cool rig, that front end is sure a collection of parts that may be a bit hard to find, but it’s still cool.

Re: Vemco Vx4 (Van)
Interesting way to build AWD...
I like the old vans but I don't need any more projects with hard to find parts. More Info on the Vemco V-Drive AWD system. http://www.blueovaltrucks.com/tech-a...-drive_system/

Re: Vemco Vx4 (Van)
That is Bizarre. If you had to have a low rider I guess that was the way to go.
The front clip looks like something I could put next to the bonfire with my Toroflow and stand around and drink beer and stare at them.

Re: Vemco Vx4 (Van)
I saw one of those 4x4 van in our local junk yard with that 4x4 set up. I spent like 10 mins looking at it just trying to figure it out. Id never seen another one until now. Its different for sure!

Smart guy offering it for sale now since they talk about this system in the new Fourwheeler magazine. Very cool and I would love to have one.
