Now I'm wanting to fix it up for long, comfortable commutes on the inside and maybe give it a little pimp on the outside.
Well, here's how it's done...

Gracias pendejo!

Maybe not the airbrush art.

I've got windows all around. Used some mirror reflective 99% UV blocking tint for now but when I fix up the paint a bit I'm seriously considering painting the glass white to match the body... and leaving a tear drop on the back windows!

Yep... I'm a van guy now. Fortunately it looks like a work van and not a child molester van. However for Halloween I could easily create a costume by wearing sweat pants and scrawling "free candy" on the sides of the van.

Mech

and air ride suspension... the definition of pimp!

Wink I don't know. Mine says custom on it.

It's just a cargo van though with no extras.

On a good note AutoParts Warehouse....aka...USA Auto Parts Network Inc. returned my money after wasting 4 weeks of my time for the second time.
Now I can start looking again for my grille.

Default I have an '85 in the driveway....

Thank you.
.... and it needed a carb, about 10 yrs ago, but I did not follow thru. Instead I bought a '96 B2500 SWB. (short)
Now that van is dead. The frame rotted completely at the steering box. Can't steer. Fatal. Too bad 6cyl, recently rebuilt tranny.
I will send along a shot of the grille, it IS a 4-headlight type. Alas, there are a couple of places where the bars are broken. You will see.
Yesterday I visited a 2002 for sale (got it for $900, 174K) It needs some work. Owner blew out the computer, got a refurb, but the alternator had seized up. That blew the serpentine belt, and the radiator leaks......
This sounds like a new thread!! I will go there.

I am about to junk the '85. B150 Custom (Work Van) rusted--Who needs it??
