Scored !!1999 AWD Comcast Van Cheap !!!!!
Well here my newest addition....but only for parts.It's a running 1999 AWD that I will be stripping mainly for the rear axle/diff and front diff etc. I picked it up about 25 miles from my house for $200.00 plus $130.00 to get it here.
I have the engine sold and maybe the tranny. Should look like a subframe and piles of parts by the end of the weekend if I'm lucky.

and this is 4 hours later....it had a cage and shelves that had to be unbolted along with the ladder rack.
Skip the doors are not electric ....this is a base model.
But I threw a battery at it and it started without even cranking ...the guy said it ran but I wasn't counting on it.

Front fender trim?!! I'll pay, I'll pay! I haven't been able to find any around here but want to strip off my cladding!
Was just looking at the SPB FIrst Phase and realized how much better it looked without cladding.

The front fender trim
that will fill in these gaps behind the front wheel when I take the cladding off.
I'd pay and of course COD on shipping. It would save me a lot of running around and time that I don't have!

Re: Scored !!1999 AWD Comcast Van Cheap !!!!!
Well I'm...... :-k .........cutting it to pieces and sending some to Bellingham,Wa.
Tom,PM me your address and I'll get these sent to you.
Crash, I need to regear my van and Dean (after much bribery and armtwisting) said he would give me a hand.He had a front diff case and part of what I needed,so I bought that from him and he is going to rebuild it for me with 4.11's........but rather than doing the rear in the van, I wanted to find a whole rear axle etc......that way I could do the brakes,clean out the diff and be able to assemble on a bench at Dean's instead of under the van. All of this,I would like to get done before the weather gets too nice.
I wanted to just get the axle/rear from this guy, but he wanted to sell the whole van. He was origionally asking $4to500.00 in his ad.....,but I really didn't need a whole van... #-o
the day I went to look at the van he must have been ready to sell. I hit him with the "I don't want to piss you off" but this is what I would give you. He said yes.....
