coppied from one of my husbands posts on another forum
basically its a G.M.C. Vandura 2500 5.7 V8
I bought this van of off Ebay knowing that it had gearbox problems, but as per usual that wasnt the only problem that i found have you ever noticed that no matter what you buy theres allways some thing else wrong or some thing that needs attention?
As i bought it (ebay photos)
i had it relayed home by the R.A.C. well one of thier contractors the first vehicle they sent out was not big enough so i had to wait around in the rain for another lorry to turn up, it only took 6 hours !!!
as you can see it was a tight squeeze
once i got it home first thing to go was the stickers of off the back, didnt like them on there.
i found that there was a few other problems with the van, heres the list
1 - Gear box (Now repaired)
2 - Fly Wheel Cover missing (still missing)
3 - Lights - all interior lights not working (now repaired), front fogs not working (now repaired), front side lights not working (now repaired), front strobe lights not working (replaced), running board lights not working (replaced with UV led's),
