body kit for a shorty

[HotrodDaddy43]

does anyone make a rear bumper for the shorty?

I would guess that any rear bumper wont care if its a shorty or not, unless it wraps around.
Give us a bit more about what your looking for...?

Just a thought,but why not roll pan it and build into what ever exhaust you want??.BTW-the driver's side because of limited space by the gas tank for true duals gets kind of funky.

well I thought of that but it would seem I may have a problem with my shackles.

Hmmm.
I just clicked on your link .....
The picture in the page that opened IS a shorty, and it says quite clearly "Fits On: 85-94 Astro Van Short Wheel Base"
(oddly, the 'short box' is definatly shorter, yet still rides on the same 'wheelbase'... I do believe, all astro have the same 'wheelbase'.)

well i thought there was a difference in the distance from the wheel well to the rear of the van. mine just looks way shorter then the ones in the pics and they never ask about that when looking them up.

They literally added 12 inches to the rear of the van on the extended models. They even used the same floor and welded in a 12 inch part. Don't know if it changed later but you could actually see where it was welded in.

I do kind of remember Rebel on his van figured out something with that.I know that with Ole Yellar I am going to mod a roll pan from FBI not only for the shackles,but also for a class III hitch.I hate those hidden hitches because everytime you have to hook up the safety chains you have to get down on your knees.That ant happening with this old boy.
