Cali Rust free.... Not!
Actually, the lights behind the grill are old Dick Cepek 185,000 candle power driving lights grin Yes, they are bright! Here's a pic from a few years ago when I was mounting them. [Linked Image]

As for the head, after having 3 shops tell me they wouldn't do just the valve stem seals in the head I did locate, I went ahead & put the original head back on. I checked everything with a straightedge & all was good. I think the head gasket was the only problem. Torquing the head down in the van was not fun,but I did manage to get it done.
Has been running a week now & drove it almost 200 miles up & back to the EconO West event Sat. Ran 175-180 & still seems to run real nice. Brad

Well, what look are you thinking about? Are you going to keep it lifted or lower it down? Will it be used for work,fun,camping etc? there are lots of ideas here on vanning.com & you might also look at my sites. They are listed in my sig. Welcome & good luck.Brad

i think it would look great by a chrome grille , paint job , chrome exhaust tips and a windshield visor . without going overboard , but yet it would complete the exterior keeping 99% stock except for visor . there ya go a brand new van . and maybe even paint rims same as van with new chrome lug nuts . yea thats it . good luck with it.

heres the beast, still waiting to pull her out, good thing is someone stole the gas years ago so i dont have to clean the tank, just replace a few stolen hoses, some new antifreez and oil and a tune up, check the rest of the fluids and she should be good
