if it has the things you want on it and it isn't too bad what the heck buy it. You mentioned an A/ C now that could be a fuse easy to check out and know if it is or not. Loose plastic see if it can be repaired and get it fixed, You said the engine was in good shape and no leaks go get it. All the re...

Sadly, I sold my number two Astro van that I wanted to make into a four wheeler when I bought it. It was a exact match to the one I still have, a 1989 RS, but my health said I would never get it done so I had an offer and away it went. Still hoping to finish the one I have. Don't hurt your back it w...

Isn't that the truth. As long as the surprises are like this one, good as far as I am concerned, I am all for them. This surprise is the only one this van has had for me so far. This rear end, I was told, was supposed to have a small locker rear end in it. You guys know the one that replaces all the...

I was looking in my FRM and it says that the vans I have should have ABS. Now the one in storage is not surprise that it might have been taken off as it is missing a few things that I knew about so this is just another thing missing, I guess. The van that I am working on the ABS is missing too or at...

I know the nine inch is easy to set up and if you have a reason to change gears a lot it would be the one to get. I am just a die hard Chevy guy and want to try and keep this van a GM product at the least. I would say All Chevy but I put Cad tail lights in it. I wish I had thought about it before th...

This van is a 1989 and doesn't have ABS. I don't think any 1989 did but I could be wrong. I have one other one, it is a 1989 R/S also, in storage and it doesn't have ABS either. I know most of the braking is done by the front but doesn't every one want better? I know I do I want my van to be differe...

I agree but the rear end is a 12 bolt. Believe me I counted it several times and had a friend count it too. The gasket on the back looks like a truck gasket, the car and truck used different shapes. So I am going on the idea it is out of a truck. The offset is no biggie everyone knows it is fairly e...

Well the question of what and how did this 12 bolt get in the van is still a question. I talked to the repair manager at the selling dealership and he looked up the life of the van. No where does it say that it had a rear end anything done to it. Only thing done to it was rear brakes as far as the b...

My Astro is a 1989 R/S not GT, the GT is GMC, but about the same thing. Any way here goes. The sticker that is supposed to be in the glove box is not there. So I do not have any RPO codes. The rear sway bar is there and looks stock. I took a high pressure washer to it last night so I could see if th...

Sorry no camera it died and haven't replaced it yet, but it is a 12 bolt. I will have to take it apart to find out what it is I guess. Have to get the front back on the ground as my garage is not large enough to have room around it to work with both ends up on stands. Strange part is the original ow...

I have been slowly working on my Astro van since health issues are with me for life it is going really slow. Right now it is on blocks and I am about done with doing the front end stuff, bushings and all but I stopped short of some because I am thinking hard on doing a steering change to a Rack and ...

I am curious and would like to know what computer and wiring you are going to use to make this dual TBI work? Custom made or have you found something that comes stock on whatever to make this purr? Love the look as it reminds me of the dual carb setup I had way back when in a hot rod. Being in Kalif...

Hope the B-Day was a really good one!!

Sorry I missed your B-Day but with all that has been going on around me I just missed it. Hope it was a super day for you. Merlin / Larry

Hope the B-Day was a great one.
