Re: Always wanted a minivan!

Well went and looked at my first Astro today. Actually a Safari AWD SLT. It was an 02 with 124k and loaded up including the four Captains chairs (which is probably my only "gotta have"). Only problem was it was rode hard and put away wet. Not the kind of condition I am looking for!!.....At...

Re: 2nd row Captains chairs

One of my requirements is to have Captains chairs in the second row. If I purchase a van that came from the factory with a bench will a Captains chair bolt in?.......

Re: Always wanted a minivan!

Thanks Loopie. I gotta get up the nerve to go down and look/drive/examine it. I fancy myself as an amateur wood butcher with enough power tools to make a lot of sawdust! The idea of designing my own interior with simple cabinets arranged as I see fit fascinates me. I have always like organizational ...
