Chevy & GMC Vans

Here are some pictures of my van from a few months ago, Yes it used to have a ford emblem on it, it was just a joke. I hit a deer and it went under my van a ripped the corner off my roll pan, so I just dragged it until it looked like it does in the last picture. I have since cut it off, and I just got my new one that I'm going to weld on tomorrow.
It's a 2000 Astro cargo, right now the van has a 4 link in the rear, with firestone bags on the lower link arms, suicide doors cups in the front with slam specialties bags. 2 5 gal tanks, 2 viair 480c's, all 3/8 lines and valves, and some pretty serious train horns underneath.
It's a lot of fun, but I'm bored and want it lower. Future plans in this order:
Re-do the 4 link, z the frame so it'll lay on the body, do the interior with a serious audio/visual system, and then eventually drop an ls1 in it. but that's the very last thing if it even happens, I might not even do that.
Anyway, let me know what you think... Earlier this year I towed a 6000lb trailer with my other car (awd turbo mitsu eclipse) and everything I own packed inside the van and on the trailer across the country from california to Greenville, NC where I live now, and it made it the whole way like a champ. That was when I hit the deer.

Looks good. I love cargo's, they just scream "I need a super loud system in me".

i really like the pillar gauges. That's something I've been wanting but can't justify the expense. I'm think an RPM and trans temp would be nice. I also liek the painted dash. It looks smooth; did you coat it, then sand it before painting?

oh yeah, welcome to the board! It's nice to have you.

Thanks, yeah sanded and primered it first. I got the pillar pod from either summit or jegs, don't remember which, for only about $25. Mission Viejo huh? I lived there for about 6 months, off of La Paz.

Bout time you found your way over to this board.

Good lookin' van!

Welcome.

Haha, I've been on it but I've been lazy and haven't posted at all. I've been traveling a lot and haven't really had time.
