| | | Hello from NW Oregon with a '79 Chevy G20 Shorty | Joined: Aug 2016 Posts: 2 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Aug 2016 Posts: 2 | Hello there! I've been kicking around the idea of buying a 70's van for about the last 8 months or so. I have had everything from muscle cars, to hot rods, to Volkswagens. When my daily driver started acting up (and boring me to death) I started thinking about a replacement. I own a restaurant and collect post-war balloon tire bicycles so I needed space for groceries/restaurant supplies plus something that was tall enough to allow for my bicycles to stand up inside. In addition to that, I wanted something that needed some work and needed something with some character. After factoring all of this and my budget, I started looking around for a van. I just so happened to find this one about 18 miles from me. It's a 1979 Chevy G20. It has a rebuilt 350 and a new T350 trans. Add the fact that it was Root Beer Brown, had white-lettered tires, and dual 40-series Flowmasters, I had to have it. I will start a thread for the van itself too. Anyways, happy to be here and I look forward to chatting with you.
I will post a picture if I can figure out how. Lol
