GMC 1-TON 4X4 G35 VANDURA CAMPER CLASS B RV VAN. Factory converted to a pathfinder 4x4 when it was new. Badges and tags still on it. Pathfinder shifter. 400 small block with 700r4 automatic overdrive transmission. The motor runs nice. Edelbrock carb, aluminum intake. It actually drives nice down the road but needs shocks. Put some bilsteins on it and it will ride like a cadillac. The only time I drove it very far was to go camping and I pulled my 26' camper on the highway and up on forest service roads. Plenty of power for that, especially considering the weight of the van itself. Drove fine and did not squat down in the back. Rides nice empty or towing. 4.10 factory ordered gearing with positrac rear. HD everything. Needs new mufflers and tailpipes. I can get that fixed for you here if you'd like. Runs good, gauges work, runs cool. Tires and wheels in the pics aren't included. Original style rims/hubcaps will be on it. Tires not great. TONS of aftermarket 8-lug wheels are available used and new. Cheap for new ones though. 4x4 all works fine. May need a u-joint or something but I drove it in 4x4 and 2wd on the highway at about 45 mph and nothing clunking or vibrating that I noticed. I'm a mechanic too. Steering feels tight. A/C, power steering/brakes, tilt steering column. The A/C actually does work ok. It was about 90 degrees when I ran it and it still was a little cool. The van ran fine pulling my camper in this heat, with the a/c on, and no overheating or anything weird. The body: one small spot of actual rust on one front fender. The rust spots on the side are just where the paint chipped off. Surface rust. Very nice body overall but paint not great. It would buff out ok. It was painted once and some of that paint is coming off. I was just going to do a couple spot repairs or a decal, or wrap, or something because a lot of the paint is fine. I guess it's up to you. Interior needs some work. A little wood panelling replacement and new carpet. Nothing major. Seats and couch are ok. Front seats are comfy and swivel around to face backwards. The cover, that goes on the engine cover, is included. Interior lights work. Fridge works on electric. Van has 12v interior lights. 110 wiring also with inverter and long RV HD wiring hookup that plugs into generator plug or regular outlet. I would personally add a more updated battery bank and solar but it's not needed. It's setup and has a spot for a deepcycle battery that charges off the alternator. Fridge works on electric. I haven't tried it on propane. I can try the fridge, stove, and heater on propane also. The heater is a no-fan style so it doesn't use electricity and it is vented. This used to have an awning that was removed but pretty easy to put another on. It has cabinets and cupboards that are in good shape. Stainless stove and backsplash. Tall inside. I'm 6'5 and can move around fine in the hightop Storage on each side of the hightop inside, could be used for kid bunks with a little modification. Rear couch/seat folds into a bed. I'm sure a person could mod it up some with some modern overland accessories, off-grid stuff etc., but the van would be usable now with a little TLC. HD eq hitch with trailer brake controller. I have many other pics I can send. Interior, exterior, etc. No floor rust. No leaks. May need the windows resealed but I haven't seen a leak in snow or rain. $10,000. Located in Eureka Montana. Shipping available if needed.
