Well, I braved the rain anyway.

Fresh paint on the rims (I had a couple 7" wide rims to match on my shelf)
and it has a whole different attitude.

So, now I have 275/60-15 rear, and 235/75-15 front.

Gives it a nice stance. I think the black with white lettering also would look good

Well, now I am on the horns of a dilemna.


Went to Baker's gathering of the earlies, and another vanner was really interested in the 83. So interesed that he offered me over three times what I paid for it (And I had already told him what I paid.) He's been trying to find a decent 3rd gen for a while, and I took his number while I think it over.


Here's the tough part:

I had planned to take this van to the Nats.

If I buy tires and maybe some Lucas trans stop leak will slow down the front seal leak enough, I could take my 86 Dodge.

I also was looking forward to doing a quick fix up on this van.

Decisions, decisions.....

Dude, sell it. Flip it and get another van with money to spare for the fix up budget.


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!

My rule is:

If I have the same brand all the way around, white letters out.

Mixed brands, black wall out.

I don't know...solid third gens here in MI are becoming rarer and rarer. If that's what you really want to build...and being into right financially...I think about sticking.
