Hello folks, I have a 98 astro cargo van, going to be using it for work, but i simply dont want to or have the ability to leave it looking plain, has anyone here gone for the 70s look? maybe some cragar mags and some side pipes??? If so any pics???? thanks in advance

I haven't seen many of the new style done rerto, but I bet it would be pretty sweet looking.

Well, no side pipes (yet) but got the Cragars. No fancy paint job or porthole windows either.

The running boards are off now too. Here's the other side.

I love the look of Craigars.Had them on everything when I was young.I just dont envy you cleaning in the lugnut area.Why I switched to corvette rallies on everything.Really easy to clean. But they do look awsome on your van.

I agree. Cragar S/S wheels never get old.

I hear you There,They can be tight to clean around the lugnuts,Thats why i use a cordless brush,and polisher tool with small soft brush heads to get in there,and it makes it a lot easyer :banana:

I love those Corvette rallys also.

i saw one at sema many years ago with cragar ss wheels/ metalflake paint, porthole window, side pipes, and flares/ airdam. Surely somebody out there has to have a pic of this van? It was the same year that california customs had a tone of astros at the sema show. I would love to see that thing again.
