I hope that you left the driver's door assembled to use as a guide... I'd need a road map, instructional dvd and a cooler of beer to figure that out Those are both the driver and passenger door trim. I haven't pulled the trim off the two side or two back doors yet. Let alone all the wood trim still on the dash and inside. I swear Starcraft used an entire tree to outfit my van. There are also several pieces on the doors I couldn't get off for one reason or another yet. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 7,662 Likes: 2 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 7,662 Likes: 2 | Starcraft used a lot of good quality wood trim in there Conversion Vans......

I recently bought this well-used van for $400. After freshening the engine and rebuilding the carb, I still had a terrible bog upon hard acceleration, and my timing was bouncing around. It had the spark control computer, but not the lean burn carb, so the change-over wasn't bad at all. Being an electrician helped. Used stock parts for a 1983 Dodge D150 from Advanced Auto, costing me maybe $100.
The timing mark is now rock steady. By the time I got it done, I only had time to take it down the street, but no more bog! | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 Festerus Vannimus | Festerus Vannimus Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 | My brother owns a NAPCO 4x4 , 59 Apache, and that thing is wrapped out at 3500-4000 at 60mph !
