Thinking about an old dodge camper van... Input needed

[boardrider247]

So when they introduced the "express" series of vans they must have gone back to frame on body

Thanks for the pic, THAT is what I expected when I thought of a unibody van

NorthernWoodsman,
Thanks for the clarification.

I looked for a 4x4 for quite awile too. Ended up with an AWD Astro. Not the perfect solution but it works great for me. Astro would be awfully small for 4 people in my way of thinking. I guess it could be done but I find it cramped with just me in there for a weekend. It is more capable off the pavement than I ever expected and works really well in the little snow I've been in.

Right after I got the Astro a mid 80's 4x4 chevy with a full camper conversion showed up on craigs list for $6k.. Much better van for what I wanted and it was cheaper than the Astro. If I had just waited a little longer..

I've looked at the awd Astros and they seem ideal if I was just the 2 of us but would be a bit tight for 4.

Maybe I'll just have to keep my eyes open for a good used awd express.


Are there any aftermarket fiberglass high tops for the express vans? If there was, that would seal the deal for me.
