Hello,
Im a new guy around here. Im also a young guy (28). I am willing to bet a lot of you on here were doing vanning while I was still an infant. Anyway, my love for chevy vans started in 1990 when my mom bought an 84 chevy beauville. She drove that thing forever and I basically grew up around it. Fast forward to this year, I am all grown up, two kids and a wife and a nice job. I sold my 1970 Chevelle that I restored with dad in high school to pay off medical bills and some school loans. I missed that old car feeling. So I went on a search. Well, I was working at Remington Arms recently and they decided to move out of Kentucky. So I was also on the job hunt. I found a job in Louisville at Six Sigma. My new co-worker drove in his grandpa's 1991 Chevy G30 VanCraft conversion van. I took a look at it and had to have it. So I bought it from him.

The van:
1991 G30 VanCraft Conversion. 130,000 miles. 1 Ton. 350 TBI, 4L80E trans with a US Gear overdrive unit. 14-bolt corporate axle with 4.10 gears and factory locking differential.
Its white with blue interior and blue pin striping. Did I mention this thing is mint? It is in such good shape I couldn't believe it. Everything works!
I have the factory window sticker. Factory service manual, repair manual and wiring diagrams. I have every receipt the old man ever got for services. Its been to the 48 states and I have a log book to prove it! Complete with old gas receipts (.98 cents a gallon!!)
THis thing is so cool. It has its own vacuum cleaner. Has pull down shades. TV. Sex lights wink wink. I did put in a modern mp3 player headset and new speakers. It still had the factory delco paper speakers that sounded awful. I will post some pictures soon. I've been busy cleaning and detailing.
So far the only thing it has needed is cleaning, a radio, speakers, an air cleaner, oil change, and a carpet shampoo.

Well, I guess I lied a little. The US Gear unit is whining a little bit. So if any of you have any spare parts for US Gear units please let me know, or I might sell this one and put on a regular transmission tail shaft housing and factory drive shaft.

By the way, what's BGV? Is that the name of the local club?

Welcome from Ohio!

My van has a vacuum cleaner, tv, the lights and a bed. Mine's not in as good condition as yours, but it works. The vacuum is broken right now though. Does yours have a bed in it?
