Recurving is way cheaper than new and just as good ...

Thanks for all the pic this will help me a lot at least I have a starting point. I my country we only have about 30 vans and very few shops have any knowledge about them. I will post some more pic's later today.

A little bit late but pic's on the earlier progress Because my van is now right hand drive I could not use the column shift linkage. I had to make a cable that would work. I had a cable made to the length that I needed and fabricate a bracket to hold the cable and get the adjustment just right for the column to work. Also the cross over steering arms were profile cut and milled to the size that was needed all seems to work. I am just waiting for the taper reamer to arrive from the USA for the cones to fit as they are 26.5 degrees. The mounting for the transfer case I saw a pic on the net and had one laser cut then made a new cross member. That has all worked out for me.

Hi to all I have managed to get my tyres and I would like to thank frcske1 for the recommendation on the tyres I got hold of some 315/70/17 s I had them fitted on to my rims with a -12 off set and the fit perfect. My leaf springs have been sent in and I am just waiting for them to come back so that I can fit the them. At the moment we are having rolling black out for 6-9 hours a day so our industry is almost at a stand still this has been going on for about 2 1/2 weeks Monday to Sunday. I have posted a few pics of the wheels and some of my toys that have helped me with this project the end is near I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

Finally i got my new leaf springs back. Unfortunately I had a problem with the original springs as we only have metric here so I had to have new ones made I fitted them with a 2" block and I am happy with the result as soon as I am finished with the pinion angle I will weld on the spring perches and be able to put on the new wheels and tyres. Then it will be time for the body work and upholstery.

You should do a youtube type walk around/test drive video when you're done. Amazing work!

Hi to all I have not given up on the van. I just had a few other things that took priority. So i just replaced all the brake lines and made a cowling for the 2 x14" fans that will be going on the radiator. Had the front and read diff covers powder coated waiting for the new shock to arrive then I should be able to drive it around the block. Will post some pics soon.
