Re: Van of the month - nominations wanted
Sir; Being a newbie i do not know how the chain of command on input works here. And not know'n i'm afeert ta say. But sure would be nice if all nominations were accompanied with a photo of said van; jes so's us newbies could see what y'alls talk'n bout. Not that i would presume to have any say in the matter. Sir.justice wrote:I think I would like to do a "Van of the Month" feature for the front page of the site (which is going to get a redesign in the near future).
I would like some nominations for vans to be featured. If I don't get any, i'll start with my beatup old 87 shorty, and we don't want that. #-o
The VOM feature will not be just for customized vans but daily drivers as well, lets have a good mix.
Just an FYI, If your van is picked to be featured, I will need a good set of high res pictures and you will need to do the write up. I will edit as needed and post the article on the front page. When a new VOM is posted the previous VOM will be moved to the archives.
I'm looking to start this with the first VOM on March 1.
Ready, set GO!
91 Astro EXT; never liked GM till i stumbled into this van. Free just for dragging it out of a field. Ran like a scalded cat, had 53K miles and completely rusted out brake lines. Been all over North America, lots of fire roads and no roads; fully loaded and towing constantly. Average 21 mpg. I recently (by accident) found out she now has 265,886.4 miles without so much as a tuneup, and only 1 oil change. And still no leaks. MAN I LOVE THIS VAN !

It may be possible that you can give me the measurement of the thickness of the coil overland 3".
I have several coil to compare and choose the most similar to lift my 88 astro.
This photo is a CC650 moog for 2500/3500 van. (.90 thick), the 1500 moog coil is (.87)
thanks
