I'm glad to see it find a new home. My van has (non functional) aftermarket rear AC, and as such doesn't use one of those covers.

I bought a bag of rings and pliers when I added heaters to my dune buggy seats. I never opened them, I used zip ties instead.

Looks good!

Glad it was an easy fix!

I just used the front hitch to move the camper back a little further in the yard. It was rainy and muddy when we parked it behind the gate, even my neighbor's 4x4 was having difficulty in the mud at the time. The yard was finally dry enough I could move it back some as it sat right next to the AC un...

Today I used the astro to jump start the work van. It hasn't been started since the end of February. I did start the astro once or twice in that time though. I've not driven anything in the past month, it felt good to get in the astro again even if I only drove it 50 feet.

Only 40K on it?! SCORE!!! It's got some curb appeal to boot!

Welcome aboard!

Check your inbox, I sent 2 PMs.

Welcome aboard!
I grabbed one for someone at the junk yard a few months ago, then they changed their mind. I'll try to look for it tomorrow afternoon, but I may have tossed it.

Welcome aboard! I had to do a double take, I thought this was Gavio's van:

1- AC and PS lines reached just fine on my swap. I even used the stock mechanical fan with no clearance issues. 2- I stuck with the 4L60E that was behind the 4.3. I even kept the 4.3 torque converter. Looking back, I should have swapped it with the 5.7 converter. The stall speed is different (iirc b...

Done

The right one will come along. You'll find it.

It took me 2 tries to find a good one. The G20 donor i took the engine, transmission, computer and harness, the heads were junk. I brought them back and found a roller cam 350 with low miles, I ended up exchanging the heads and buying the shortblock, then putting the intake and exhaust from the G20 ...

When I pulled the donor engine I cut the lines long and used compression fittings on the steel portions. I've not had any trouble with them so far, nor do I expect to.

As Will reminded me during my swap, the fuel pressure is set by the regulator in the throttle body (you're going TBI, right?). I'm still running the CPI pump and letting the TBI regulator return any excess fuel to the tank. I've not had any issues with it.

Headed up I81 or I 95? 81 is a TREACHEROUS road, the big rigs will run you off the road. Like Sgt Esterhaus used to say: Be careful out there.

I'm a locksmith. Locks only keep honest people honest. Just please be vigilant about it, I'd hate to see it happen again.

Be VIGILANT about security on your truck. Thieves are going around stealing the truck, trailer and all. My nephew lost everything they owned a few months ago.

Kidding. Safe travels!
