hello everyone ! I own a 92 GMC safari rwd that I just got done putting another 4.3l an upgrading the front brakes an suspension with parts from my 95 chevy caprice police car. I didn't take pics but will get pics of the finished project . Plans are to swap in the lt1 an trans from the caprice,but for now its running good.

Thank for the warm welcome P R Safari,LiftedAWDAstro . There will pics today of the van an LiftedAWDAstro I saw your build on your SAS an I love that . It got the creative juices flowing . I am a ford truck guy,I love them I own three of them.I have some 78-79 f-150 4x4 front axles an suspension parts left over from my bronco build that I was thinking using. I would find another van to do a SAS swap.The one I just got done swapping motor an sub frame I use for newspaper delivery an it's impractical to try that swap with it.

Welcome western neighbor, sort of. Dude, that thing actually looks bad ass.

THere's getting to be more and more western stros on the forum, I keep saying that soon it will be time for us to all meet at the beach at Pelican Brewery. It's not a short trip for us, but if the timing is right and enough ASV westerners comitt, it would be worth it. The Vancouver crowd could all swing thru my neighborhood and pick me up on the way down. :supz: Matty can get his together and meet us in Astoria with Kamenz and Peeler, and everyone else.

Hey! A trip to Astoria with a bunch of ASVrs would be awesome. There's good surf in that area and plenty of camping areas.

Quick question....if you have a 95 Police Caprice are you gonna swap over the 11" drum brakes too? It should have them.
