Re: Another 98 Astro solid axle swap
Scotts, I have no plans for the stock rear, but not sure how to get it to you. It's still under the van at the moment.
A freind of mine just started building a new shop at his place, and for helping him get some stuff done he is allowing one corner of the new shop to be "mine", so my van will be moving inside sometime in the near future. Still won't be able to do anything for awhile, but atleast she'll have a roof over her.

Hope to be vannin' again someday........

Re: Another 98 Astro solid axle swap
Major changes have been made in my life. My debt was finally paid off last month, a little earlier than expected. In the process of all that I ended up becoming single again for the first time in 10 years. Decided I really needed to make some changes and try to start over, so me and the kids moved to Wisconsin for a fresh start. I had to part with the van, couldn't see dragging it with me, and couldn't afford to do that either. Got me a new job out here, and the kids and I are getting settled, so far so good. Someday I hope to get another van.
Hope to be vannin' again someday........
