These 3rd gen vans make very comfortable daily drivers.........
I am itching to do some custom body mods.
First it has to run.........

That is a very good looking early 3rd gen
Early 3rd gens
These are the Vettes or Caddys of the van word
My First early 3rd gen got a little bent up.......
A week after the accident I went out and bought my 1st brand new van.

looks great, all of them! back then, for less than $1000 you could buy wheels and tires, spoiler/fender flares a winshield visor and a roof spoiler. you could instantly go from a stocker to a custom in an afternoon.Comment

3rd gen shortys have the look alright.....

Being a daily driver van I usually run two different styles of rims
8 inch truck style rallies in the winter
Crager SS's in the summer months
Because the cragers are not in really good shape.I think I am going to run them in the winter this year with the set of "custome fiberglass" flares.pictured
When it snows I stay home.This set up should work out OK........Its a "van thing". A life style you have to live to understand!!!!Comment

I've always loved the shorty 3rd gen, I've had one since I was in high school, hope someday to get back to it. Just got to figure out how to make 30 hour days!!!!!!1964 gmc handi vortec ls 5.3 whipple supercharger supter t-10 4 speed 9" ford builder of the first saturn power steering set upComment

This was my daily driver for 28 years .Comment

The tube grill was a 20.00 part a friend of mine found.
I also prefer a shorty.How ever the last one i found the body was really rough
The Twins located this van for me.Because it had the right drive line 350 /700R4 tans/factory A/C.I went ahead and bought it.
While Big Red does have the typical rocker panel rust the upper body is in decent shape.
I hope to do a retro grill conversion on this van.I just like the looks of the Early 3rd gen grills better..
Yes winter flare /summer flares.I have a complete set of hard to find original J+J Flares here waiting for spring time.
these with a set of steel running boards will give the van the illusion of it being lowered
Uncle Ron your daily driver had a good look to it.......Last edited by Wookee; 11-21-2014, 12:04 AM.Its a "van thing". A life style you have to live to understand!!!!Comment
