When you cut the springs in the front, did it cause the van to ride different? Is it softer or harder? I havent noticed a difference. I only cut one coil, before I had Dodge Dakota dropped springs and that made it ride stiffer, and they sagged real quick. The thing that affected the ride is that th...

I'm not to worried about the damage from a wreck, I'm more worried about the other guy's insurance. My 99 S-10 was just totaled thanks to a stupid girl running a stop sign. It took nearly 6 months for me to see any money.

Thanks.

A while ago I cut my front springs, just one coil but it made a big difference. Last weekend I got tired of the stink bug stance, and decided to drop the rear. For my rear drop I did an axle flip. This lowered the van 6". I used the old axle saddles from the DJM flip kit from my 84 GMC Sierra. ...

I know there was a thread on modifying the rear bumper so it tucks closer to the body. Well I screwed it up and this the results of my experiment. I think it looks a lot better, and for me the modifications were free.

Thanks guys.

I have been away for a while and even thought of selling my van, but I regained common sense and will keep it around. Some background, I have a 93 Astro EXT. For a long time it was my copier service/family hauler. Now my wife drives it, I drive a 6" dropped 90 Silverado. My van was stock for a ...

Thanks for the reply. I posted on the other site as well but I did not post my new discovery. My freeby van is a 94. So I think everything I want will swap over. I lucked out because the 94 is also a TBI van. In Alabama we dont have emissions testing. I could put a motor on a skateboard and all I wo...

I've found a running driving but wrecked 88 window van, and I have a 95 cargo van with a bad drivetrain. I plan on putting a V-8 in the 95 and robbing what I can off of the 88. What can I use off of the 88? I was thinking of using the throttle body with some larger injectors and the rearend. I know ...

We get rusty cars here Alabama also. I replaced the floor pans in a buddy's Nova, and the rust went up into the door jambs. I looked at a Nash Metropolitin yesterday that Fred Flintstone could drive. And the dash board was pitted from sitting with no glass in it. Thanks for the welcome Peter, I read...

Trust me my wife doesnt really like the big garage thing either. She is a landscape designer and would rather have the space to put in a plant sanctuary. I have told that before anything gets built onto the garage she gets a sunporch where our patio is now. My wife let me build the garage because I ...

I live next door to a guy who rebuilds street sweepers, if you have seen my photobucket page you'll see some street sweepers in the back ground. He has a good sized modular home and a permanent shop behind that. My folks are always telling me that only rednecks build shops the size of their house. A...

Thanks guys. My wife seems to think I need another obession. The car magazines and toys are taking over the house. Crash the garage is 960 sqare feet and my house is 990 sqare feet. Everybody needs a garage almost the size of thier house. My plans for the van are to drive the wheels off of it. I lov...

Yet another new guy. I'm on the other Astro site with the same user name. I dont have my van yet but hopefully I'll have it soon. It is a freebie 95 cargo, the motor trans and rear end are shot. I'm lookng to buy a running but wrecked cargo for the drivetrain or put a V-8 in my van. I repair copiers...
