Looking good with both vans, man...!

Here in Buffalo I've seen a lot worse get fixed, you'll do that 4x4 justice...!

Check out pictures of Stan's stuff that I have here: http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z269/95-1Ton/My%20Van%20s/Stans_%20vans

In this picture you can see the plates that pathfinder put into these vans, all along the bottom it ends just where the sawzall cut is... Crazy engineering, right...?!


when things go bad, you just gotta keep on keepin' on...

No that frame was rotted out from the top down, it was one of Stan's that was parted out to other vanners (including the windshield for me)... I helped take it apart, get it gone... Also tried to take as many pics as possible for future 4x4 conversions...

The white van will be the project van, I am going to take the driveline from the Black van and put it on the white, the black van has too much rust on it, the white one is rust free (a score for $200) shorty with 28k original miles on it. Been sitting in a warehouse for 25 years.

PS. this is my 1985 Dodge Ramcharger 4X4 van that I have had for about 10 years, has a pathfinder conversion on it. The green van is a 2000 Shorty with about 70k actual miles and will be my daily driver.
