Re: I've been told I'm a van guy...

A van was high on a young mans list in the 70s along with Jeeps, T-Buckets and muscle cars. Oh wait nothing has changed. :guitar:

Re: Quick Question

I have only talked on the phone. There was someone coming to look at it last night. Wants $750. Exterior looks nice although I hate the color. Nice thing is it is local. I can do all the work myself.

Quick Question

Questions

I could use some answers on the Ast/Saf. First as a short person I only need 5 1/2-6 feet to lay down. So how much of seating area is removed to do this? By the way I do not simply want a cargo van. How heavy duty of shocks can be used before sacrificing ride comfort? Will changing to LT tires affec...

Hello

I am new here and I don't have a Astro or Safari yet. I am hoping I can glean some information so that when I buy one, it will be the right one.
