Chris, will you be re-using the D60 axle or can't it be modified to fit the leaf?
Also what was the purpose of that 4x2(ish) box section welded between the frame horns at the front?

Yes, I'll be widening the perches to make it 38". Thats on my list for today
It had a front receiver welded on.

Chris,glad to see that crap is outta there.Was the frame really rusty under those crumby welds?Surprised there wasn't rust holes under the track bar mounts.Gawd that was awful work by the PO.
If you think that's bad,you should see the rear.It doesn't stop with just the front end. :Wow1:

This is all really great and all.
But I REALLY wish you could work your magic on the 1991 and older vans...
Seeing these vans makes me want to upgrade to a newer model.
BTW, Great work as usual!!!

I was one of the previous owners and I promise I didn't build it. Only owned it for 6 months. It scared the heck out of me on more than one occasion. We wanted a solid van to haul our 5 boys and all their gear to ball tournaments and camping and such. That van was not it. Glad to see you are making it right Chris. Cya soon.

I know what you mean, just didn't want anyone to feel like they were being attacked for something they didn't do (or request)
Thanks! Maybe someday.... when I get bored with the 92 to current!
You need to swing by for a test drive when it's back on the ground. I'll have the front axle back in tomorrow.

Sorry bout that.I wasn't meaning to sound like I was attacking anyone.I should just say that the person that modified the suspension on that van needs to study up some more.It was a dangerous set up.Happy to know it held up long enough to be properly upgraded.
