Chevy & GMC Vans

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I like it. But its still a little too big (I know, I've owned a full sized Bronco.)

It is kinda nifty!

I like it... wonder if it has a diesel?

Cool!

"That's Bruce Lansfield. He used to work for AMP Research (may still) and developed some AMP steps for our vans. Super cool guy, met him a few years ago. Notice those running boards?

I don't remember if he shortened a Quigley or used a Bronco chassis???"



From this picture taken on the freeway, anyway, it looks like a great job. Would love to test drive it for a long backroads weekend, but I suspect it would still be bigger than I would personally prefer. Would like to know a little more about it, though, thats for sure.

I did get a ride once in a Ford power stroke van.Very impressive.

This is cool.

Tom you might like the size of the shortened E van. The bodies are only 1.8" wider, front track 3.7" wider, rear 1.9" wider, than the Astro.

The big difference comes in height. They are about 6" taller stock, 5.3" of which can be found in the interior.

Too bad it's a Ford!

I was thinking with a slightly shorter snout, it'd look a lot like a stro or safari on steroids.

T.Low-the ride I got in a power stroke Ford van was owned by a fleamarketer at Hartville Ohio out of Mich going to the store for eats.The road narrowed and he hit it to get ahead.Yeah they really fly.

Yeah, a lot of the contractors I work with have chipped em out and hopped em up and they do ok. Especially in shorty-bobbed form like the red one above, I'd suspect. Intriguing to say the least.

If it was production, I'd get one!

anyone know if this Bruce guy has the van documented anywhere on the net?
