This is great but in all fairness you didn't swap them into an Astro...You swapped an Astro body onto a truck frame. :poke: Personally I would have recessed the frame into the body so the body sits down lower and hides the fact there is a truck frame under it. To me seeing a truck frame under a veh...

same here..

I was doing a write up over on (AS.com) and Competition diesel .com so I will try not to run on to badly here. I see that some of you surf both sites, so look it over there too under ('99 Crazy lifted Monster Safari). I went into a lot more details on that first write-up. I'll stick more to the high...

Damn, so more of you than I thought that are on both (ASV) and (AS).com.

Well the activity is so slow over there that I see some guys bouncing back and forth. Also guy getting ban from the site for typing whats on there minds and a moderator didn't like it. Humm, wait a minute, damn that's what I'm doing now. Crapp.. Hey Astroturf, are you over here?

The ONLY way this is possible is the Full size truck frame that the van now rides on.

On the body I did forget to mention that I had to cut the floor from the dog house to right under the gas pedel. My engine is what is known as a P-pump motor. It has a very large mechanical pump that hangs off the left(drivers) side. It"s the thing with all the tubes coming out of it right unde...

Wow! Do we maybe get captions?... How about some more shots of the frame & body mounts. How far back does the Cummins sit? Do you have to modify the doghouse? Is there room for a radiator and fan up front? This is a cool project! Well let me answer like this- The K-5 frame needed to be cut down...

Here's the one I did.

Well that works, but hows it holding up to the door getting slamed shut? i want to steal your pictures and send over to Unity, the makers of all the cop spots.

Has anyone installed a Unity "A" piller spotlight on there van? I have found only a few pictures of police vans with them but no info on the brand of lights. Unity is the biggest supplier of the "cop spot" but shows no listing for these vans.

Well I guess then I should start with the beginning . I saw a lifted 4x4 Astro van in some ad, and had to build one my self. So first find a clean van cheep----- not so easy! My '99 GMC Safari with a bad engine picked it up for $700.00. Keep track now. http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc368/biggr...

I really should of went with the VE pump 5.9 '98 later would not had to cut into the floor behind the gas pedel. But oh well, just a little more fix'n and fab'n.
