Wow, so many postings.

Thought I'd add a few shots of where you can go and what can happen:

What happened? It looks like the tire blew up going highway speed. Thats a lot of damage. Tire blow out is something I fear in the lifted van!

70 mph on US Highway 6 in Railroad Valley. It blew suddenly, sounded like the whole back end fell out. It was a lonely tire change. It was also about $5,000 damage when all was done. Fortunately, I have a friend who works on vintage and high end cars. who was willing to straighten out the body without using Bondo.

Thanks,

Glad no one got hurt in that. Like I said,blowout on the van scares me and hope to never have one. Its also noce to see someone with the skill to repair panels the proper way!

Truly one of a kind, was part of a correctional facility fleet, interior in the back is all caged in with wire mesh. Conjures images of bears and zombies clawing at the glass. I installed 2" lift springs, shocks, 265 Cooper AT3 tires, this van is huge, like 6'4" inside and makes a lot of shade. Has 81K miles, a late model wheelchair lift, floor brackets for more seat and tie down brackets for moto toys, would make an awesome motovan, adventure/camper van etc. I really wanted to build the interior on this van but new a house comes first, just posted it on ebay... cant keep them all right...

Out of curiosity, what driveline does that van have and what's your asking price? My imagination is going wild with build ideas.

THAT is so cool!
Had one while in Kuwait. It was our admin vehicle...drove it any chance I could!

We didn't get many of those Mitz vans. A few thousand in the late 80's, I think. Same for the Yotas.

I know where one of these old milk vans is in SC. It's for sale too. It's in rough shape tho. Someone started to turn it into a hotrod and then bailed. I assume the current owner bought it thinking he could make a dime off of it. It's now yard art.
