That is one really nice van, my wife and I were looking at it and commenting on how much we like it, when we noticed it was a 93, we were totally blown away, dude, you scored!!! Normally I'm not much for painted graphic's but those are very cool, they almost look like mountains in a way...

Your additions look good, the bumpers and the other touches you've done, again, nice job!!!!
What engine does it have and what was the milage if you don't mind me asking when you found it? Speaking of that were did you find it, state?
Super cool and keep the pictures coming in of your trips and progress!!!!
Cheers

Thanks!! the paint is starting to grow on me to, it doesn't seem as loud now that it has a few other black items on it. The van had 90,000 miles on it when i picked it up from Virginia and now has 96,000 6 weeks later :) It has a 351 in it. I've been getting an average of 14.5 mpg (15.5 is the best so far, prob in Nebraska where it was flat :)) I'll get picks up of the interior up soon but its in fairly nice shape with the drivers seat having a few tears from getting in and out. Being an eastern vehicle i was worried about rust, but i've searched high and low, no rust under the doors or undercarriage (body mounts, floor etc) It rides super nice, I'm loving it!
I noticed your in SLC, we stopped there on the way home from picking it up to see my sister and pick up the bumpers. Thanks again for the comments.

No longer looking like an Icelandic bubble tire van :victory: Changed the rims and tires, rides so much better.

Thanks. Yup they are, not sure what the off set is on them as i bought them used and kinda just took a chance with them, price was right.

The conversion was done by Sherrod, but i've noticed quite a few others conversion vans with a similar top.

very nice looking rig ! U have a great outdoor playground too!

Thanks! I appreciate it. I'm actually very envious of your outdoor playground. We love visiting the Oregon coast and is one of our favourite areas south of the border.
