I have both sideas of the main cargo area done. I tried bending the plywood, but the cheap plywood delaminated when wet and didn't fit the corners as well as my two piece experiment so I just did that. Its nothing fancy, just finishing off the area to cut down on noise and have a finished surface to strap to. The ceiling is tomorrow. I did it once already, but i am not happy with the fit on a couple parts.

Have the same issue with shocks on my G30 1979.

No the problem would require another purchase. So far the shocks seem to be working pretty well and I am not terribly unhappy as this is a freeway and city van mostly. If it does become a problem. I will buy the Bilstein shocks next.

Its $60 for a 45 ft roll and I ended up 5 ft short. So 50ft x 4ft roll should do the top and both sides along with the rear panels with some small bits left over.

I am pretty much done, just one more piece to cut and cover on the top, but I am waiting on more material. I was looking at the sliding side door and thinking about making a door panel for that too. I see though the round lock knob on the inside sits right up to the door, no room for a .2 piece of wood behind it. My options look to be getting a hole saw slightly bigger than the knob so a door panel can sit around it, or just doing a half panel and leaving the upper panel as bare metal. Anyone else run into this? Did you solve the problem differently?

On eBay, I was able to pick up a set of GM made 14 bolt SF 4.10 gears new and unused from 1982 for $75 and a matching VSSB from another party for $1.
The gears looked awful in the auction pictures, so much so that I and everyone else on eBay let them sit there for over two months. The seller said they were mostly just dirty from sitting on the shelf though, so I took a chance after another set arrived at my door step with some missing teeth courtesy of the USPS and a poor packing job. Fortunately this set arrived with just some minor dings and the gears were just dirty from sitting on a shelf.
