quigley astro ?

Post by unblind »

Does anyone have details about the Quigley conversion done on old Astro vans.
Like what front axle or t-case was used?

I just picked one up, and don't know much about it.
It's a "88 and was converted by Quigley in "88.
Kinda jumped on it quick because I had never seen one. :bounce:

Drove it home 60 miles in the dark and then had to park it for the evening.
Needs a lot of love, but I fell for it immediately.
Will post pics later.

Thanks

I'm interested to know as well since chev never actually produced an awd van before 1990, I wonder what kind of front axle if its 4wd or awd.

I think I remember someone posting some pictures on the other site and then people started to pick it apart because some of the things he said just didn't match up. Then he never came back.

Just did a first clean up/junk removal from my "little" Astro.
Here is how it looks.
