is G van 4WD conversion possible

Post by markinnh »

I was just curious if the AWD frame from another van would fit on the older G vans to make it a 4x4 or AWD? LIke maybe the front frame welded to the rear frame of a G serise from an AWD Astro?

I've seen 4 wheel drive G vans before. Don't know how they did it, but anything is possible with enough money. Probably K5 stuff involved.

Hey Mark, If you want to 4wd or awd a G van forget about the astro parts for conversion. Full size truck and K series are closer to the G van platform.
Google "4wd g van, quigley conversions" with the year your interested in and you should find some info.
