I would like some nominations for vans to be featured. If I don't get any, i'll start with my beatup old 87 shorty, and we don't want that. #-o

The VOM feature will not be just for customized vans but daily drivers as well, lets have a good mix.

Just an FYI, If your van is picked to be featured, I will need a good set of high res pictures and you will need to do the write up. I will edit as needed and post the article on the front page. When a new VOM is posted the previous VOM will be moved to the archives.

I'm looking to start this with the first VOM on March 1.

Ready, set GO!
Sir; Being a newbie i do not know how the chain of command on input works here. And not know'n i'm afeert ta say. But sure would be nice if all nominations were accompanied with a photo of said van; jes so's us newbies could see what y'alls talk'n bout. Not that i would presume to have any say in the matter. Sir. :peep:
91 Astro EXT; never liked GM till i stumbled into this van. Free just for dragging it out of a field. Ran like a scalded cat, had 53K miles and completely rusted out brake lines. Been all over North America, lots of fire roads and no roads; fully loaded and towing constantly. Average 21 mpg. I recently (by accident) found out she now has 265,886.4 miles without so much as a tuneup, and only 1 oil change. And still no leaks. MAN I LOVE THIS VAN !

It may be possible that you can give me the measurement of the thickness of the coil overland 3".
I have several coil to compare and choose the most similar to lift my 88 astro.
This photo is a CC650 moog for 2500/3500 van. (.90 thick), the 1500 moog coil is (.87)

thanks
