adventure_of_link's "new" ride

adventure_of_link · Post by **adventure_of_link** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 3:56 am

Just recently I bought a 1995 GMC Vandura cargo van. some key features to note about it:

1) it's got a 6.5L diesel engine, courtesy of Detroit Diesels
2) a 4-speed autotragic transmission, oh well at least it's got overdrive, and is NOT the 700R4 trans
3) it's got ABS
and 4) because it's a 3500 series van, I have a 1-ton suspension, which puts the GVWR at OVER NINE THOOOOOOUSAAAAND!!!! pounds.

see my van here: http://linksadventure.no-ip.org/pictures/vandurapix

it needs a boatload of work, I know. I don't mind doing it though, so long as it isn't axle, suspension, engine, and/or transmission problems.

Not yet. I might not ever deck it out (although to be fair I *should* get windows on all my doors), I just want to get all the mechanical failures fixed before I do that.

spray paint "free candy" on the side and you'll have quite a pedo van. that thing is going to guzzle so much gas you mine as well have bought a hybrid vehicle.

That thing don't guzzle gas. it guzzles diesel!

Eh, I wanted to practice driving big vehicles, and we might be moving soon, so..

I'm not even gonna keep this van for long. if I can keep it running (and possibly restore it and add some new gizmos in the process) I'll sell it.

*shrugs*

I do have a question... WHY A VAN?

Are you planning to make the back of it rock, or just be lame like this normally ends up?

Post by **Agozer** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 1:25 am

Hm, just the kind of van to lure little girls into.

funkyass · Post by **funkyass** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 1:26 am

he lures BUTAR.

Fixed. I don't see little girls being attracted to just butar.

Decent enough reason, I guess.

I second the A-Team suggestion.
