Picked this badboy up a few weeks ago.1979 GMC G10.250 straight 6,th-350.In pretty good shape,especially for a van in northeast.Only a couple of rustspots,nothing major at all.Overall,very solid driver.

I mostly plan on just driving it while I rehabilite her for now.Then at somepoint,do a engine transplant.Either a Pontiac V8 or injected 6.Not quite sure yet,but it will be diffrent,thats for sure.

In the way future,like 5 years at least,I plan on making her a 4x4 with one ton axles and probaly around 36 inch tires.But thats not for a long time.

I picked up some new used racing seats for now,mostly cause a freind had them,and they were cheap.Anything is better than the shot original seats and the way they smell.I'm going to repair headlight bezels and either make a custom tube grille or repair this one,she needs a facelift asap.I can't stand the way it looks now.

Luckily the sunroof doesn't leak,she stops decent for having manual disc brakes,and I think once i get some decent wheels or paint the ones on it now,I won't be so embarrased to drive it.Can't wait to see where this goes.

Here she is in all her glory

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was the van from the TV movie Death Car on the Freeway.
smile
I think that one was a Dodge though.

I like it.
I wouldn't be embarrassed to drive it, but I might not be a good judge...
My van looks like a contractor van. smile

Cool find, I'm interested in seeing the future changes.
