Hello from the Southern Tier of NY.

Post by spudman »

How's it going. I have been a Astro Van owner for over 20 years. The ability to use it for multiple purposes caught my eye. After having an 87 for about 15 years ( The front body mount rusted away from the frame so it wouldn't pass inspection) I went on a search for a rust free one. I wound up catching a break and bought an 05 with 106k on it from North Carolina with a blown 3-4 clutch pack in the transmission for a kickin deal. It even has a lift for a wheelchair out the back which will come in handy for taking my Mother-in-law to the DR's.
