The Orange engine is the new engine the blue engine was from my last Astro.
The van was a cargo van and I completely stripped and I installed a front frame from a 92 Safari GT
The rear doors were removed and will be replaced later tail lights will be welded in and I will be installing caddy tail lights.
I am also installing the dash from the 92 with gauge assembly from a 94.

LOL well I bought the truck for 500 bucks and the original bed was rusted beyond repair so I went shopping in local salvage yards and bought the 98 bed for 200.00 bucks. So its a victim of circumstances. Its painted with rustoleum thinned down and sprayed with my spray gun.
