I had the day off and decided to run to my local junkyard which never has any chevy g vans. Then, almost at the end of the aisle of cars was a clean solid 1975 Chevy van 10. BAM! After a long search I finally found a set of Non conversion doors so they haven't been cut out. These doors are nice! They are early style so the license plate is inside the door, I hope they work on my 89. I figure since the van was so complete I'd see what else it had to offer. Mind you I was not looking for any of these parts but I couldn't leave them lol. Some nice bucket seats I thought would be fun. I head to the front of the van and wow.....the grille is still there. It is a little bent, but definitely fixable. I probably won't use it on this van because I think it might interfere with my transmission cooler. I might just sell it....they seem to be going for top dollar recently.

Scored these yesterday on craigslist. The ad was for a 83 c10 but in the ad it stated, "comes with extra set if mag wheels" I thought, why not I'll ask about em. Got a quick response and I had them home in about an hour. Best part is they came with decent tires and all the caps! (Although rusty) I got em for a steal! Cant wait to put em on after work.

They are 15x8.5 with 235/75r15. After they wear out I'll be going with 31x10.5r15s

Just as a word of warning, you may definitely rub with 31’s on there with stock suspension. The wheel wells in g vans aren’t as big as c trucks and I rubbed with stock g20 Suspension and 31’s. I had to roll the inner fender lip in and get g30 springs to raise the front end to clear

The suspension is not stock in the front or rear. I did test fit some 31x10.5r15s (you can see in previous pics). Although those were stock wheels and these are aftermarket. Fingers crossed. I have to find the correct lug nuts also.

Gotcha, my apologies for not going back in this thread. Looks like you’ll be fine with the lift you have on there.

No need to apologize! Thanks for checking my van out!

Update!
Finally got the wheels on the van, polished the rear to see how well they clean up. Really digging how the van is looking. Not the original vision I had, but I drive it every chance i get. Found some rear doors and a new slider also. I backdated the side markers to the earlier style. Still a long way to go, hopefully paint one day.
