Hey all this is the absolute most recent pictures of my cargo van!
Specs: 93 Astro with 310,000 miles on the body. 98 Safari front clip. Remanufactured 350 pulled from a 94 G20 Conversion van. 95 4L60e with modified wire harness all running off a 95 Tahoe computer. 88 GMC Truck rally wheels. Custom cat back duel exhaust. LT option front seats. Modified stock cruise control. And my favorite, a starcraft conversion van roof wing. :-)
Some of the older members may remember what it looked like when I bought it 2 years ago. It's been a big improvement!!

Thanks for the compliments! This used to be my daily driver but I purchased an 02 AWD Astro a year ago in february that I've been using for work instead of this beast. Now I mainly use it for advertising at local car shows and tearing up the street. I have to be careful cause of our business name on the side. Last month someone got the number and called the office to complain about me drifting it on a corner while merging on the highway. lol Opps!! I love that there's no weight in the back.
The muffler is an off brand flowmaster design. We traded some oven parts for the labor and stuff. Only cost about $240.00 to have the pipes bent and installed! It's a real nice LOW rumble. I'm not big on "cackling."
My next plan is to put an interior in it. No seats- but I would like to install inner panels and a headliner to dampen noise. Maybe a little carpet too. I have a donor astro (my first V8) that was an LT that I'm going to steal the inside from.

dude i love the front end grill and lights on that thing. Did you just go to the junk yard and pick it up and did everything pretty much line up or did you have to do alot of fabricating?
I was going through some pictures. I can't believe at one point the van looked like this!
Here is my Other Van. My 2002 AWD which by the way, I just hit 360,000 miles on!!!
