Lot of good looking vans. Looking back on mine just a few messages up, a lot can change in a few months.

This is my 95 tin top, drop spindles at front flip kit up back, Boyds alloys and Stilen body kit, i have managed to wreck most of the body kit around the country roads where i live so i am gonna take the body back to factory spec, and make a roll pan for the rear bumper area, once done i will be spraying matt black (hence name) in the rear section is a tiolet and cooking facilities......its my stealth camper....Johnny

My 10 year old daughter has lovingly named it "The Big Green Booger"

Bought Evil_S10's dropped spindles, that should be arriving in Springtown sometime this week. Next purchase is a drop kit for the back end. Was wanting a 2" drop all the way around, to keep the existing rake. Was looking at using dropped leaf springs and longer rear shackles to pull that one off, but am open to suggestions.


photoshopped 2" drop.

With the price of gas lower these days I decided to put the BFG AT's back on and the Chevy endcaps on my Cragar wheels.









What was I thinking?

Steve,
I prefer the old shorty's to tell the truth, and pretty much regret selling my '90 and buying the '99...but it is what is...
Your van looks great..

kings.. in Texas you don't have a rust bucket.. you have a fade bucket. I'd bet the underside and rockers of your old Texas van is still cleaner than a 5 yr old in many other .. umm.. more northern locations.

a guy on my dakota site brought up a 90 dakota convertible (somewhat rare in a 'vert) faded to poop from Texas. got the truck, spare good motor for $700, trailered it home.. painted it original color and now has the thing for sale for a crazy amount of coin

yep, nothing like up north. You really can't see the rust on the roof in that pic. Now that I look at it, that's an old pic - still had the one remaining center cap on the wheel. '89 was not such a good year for the b/c paint system. If I wash it, some of the paint comes off with the dirt.
