This is a cool look into the structure of our vans. Great work Blag!!!

It still needs some minor adjusting here and there, but it's in place. I'm glad to report that all of the mounting positions on the chassis match up with those on the donor cab. Fits like a glove. :-)

Free's up alot of working space.

The rv wouldn't fit in my workshop so I had to improvise. Luckily I have two roller doors, so I was able to dedicate one of them to the rv for this project. It works well and keeps the wind and rain out for the most part.

Awesome look into the underpinnings of a van. You make it look easy.
The 1980 Dodge B-series van that brought me here. It sat untouched in a garage since 1989! I sold it back to the very same guy who drove it 30 years ago for Mobile radio. Sometimes you just have to put a van where it belongs. Glad to see her getting the love it deserves. | | | Re: Will this work? 2002 Chevy G20 cab on a 1980 GMC Vandura G3500 chassis... :-) | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 193 member | OP member Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 193 |
