Nice van, is the blue beauville the parts van or are you fixing her as well. Many people are going old school look and putting 71-77 flat grilles and round headlights on the 3rd Gen g10 and g20s all the way up to the 95 or 6 whichever was the last year before the Express vans came out love the right front corner view of yours showing the e tire right side and front end. I like mine solid panel with solid rear doors as well but I've had 1st and 2nd Gen sport vans, a 71 sportvan and 85 beauvilleas well as a couple regular ASTRO van pass vans but most of my vans have been panel vans and no matter if she's a mid engine 1st Gen (64-66) 2nd Gen (67-70) rs Gen like yours or an ASTRO or express even my old ex postal venture panel van I replace the window doors side and rear with solid panel doors I just like the way they look but go figure I have 3 burbans I drive and I prefer a suburban over a panel truck and both of my magnum wagons are all windows . I still have my 69 chevy g10 108 van my dad gave me in 1991 when I graduated high school, she had side and rear windows I swapped them out and made her a cargo van the same year and took off her side pipes my dad had put on her in the early 70s I have them still as well as her orig window doors . My van is in front of my silver 2010 burban in my picture
Thanks. I like your van too. Yes the blue van was a parts van. No title or motor and transmission. I like the 70's grill also but the early 80s grills still have a good look. And that's good enough for me. The headlight covers help.
hey nice van great work! was wondering where did you get the tinted headlight covers? Ive been looking everywhere for a pair, was thinking I might have to make my own with a plexi glass? let me know if you can thanks!
So what I did was make a pattern or template with some cardboard. I took that to the glass shop and had them cut the plexiglass to that shape. Then I used velcro to hold it on.
Congratulations on your 84 G20. That's the last year for the old style taillights. Helps give it the old school look. Check out some of my other videos, they may help when you're working on it.
@VanGoGarage sweet man thanks I didn't know that! I definitely am watching the rest of your videos I appreciate you making them I can use all the roadmaps I can get ✌🏾
GOTTA VIDEO THE WHOLE JOB THAT WAY YOU KNOW WHERE THE SCREWS GO BACK IN OH NO WHATS THAT RADDLE. SSHHIIT GOT 1987 G20 AN I LOVE VAN LIFE 24/7 VACATION GITRDUN
@VanGoGarage 3 more weeks l put a new cce crate engine performer in my van can't wait ill let them do the heater core mine started acting up so van on buddy
That is a 46 to 49 cj2a. The stock driveline is t90 trans, dana 18 transfercase and flathead 4 engine. My 2 cents is that the body is really pretty good and rebuilding it stock, or with a more modern 4cyl would be the way to go. These are actually getting harder to find and worth more stock.
Thanks for the info. I'm glad to learn what I can about these old jeeps. I definitely think it's a good builder for which ever way I decide to go. I guess I need to go check out some old jeeps.
you are lucky to have found this..these flat fenders are now quite highly sought after..you may regret rat rodding it...personally i wouldn't do it...back in the day we used to put small blocks Chevy's in these..327's, 350's etc...there was an adapter available (still is from Adavance Adapters or Novak enterprises..)You wont be able to fit the Cherokee XJ drivetrain into the willys as there just isn't enough room...the engine trans/transfer case are too long for the short 80 inch wheelbase....a more practical swap is to do a chevy 2.8 v6 it's a 60 degree V so it is narrow and only 3 cylinders long...fits in real nicely if you can adapt it to your drive train...a vortec 90 degree v6 shares the SBC bolt pattern so you can use an available adapter with an original drive train (dana18, t-90 transmission).. just my thoughts though...no matter what you decide at least you are making an attempt to save it....oh..back in the day had a full sized bronco with an auto trans that constantly overheated...never solved it, instead hooked up a spare windshield bottle and pointed the nozzle at the front of the radiator...whenever it would get hot i just gave it a shot of water...worked for the few years i had the rig...cheers
Thanks for the comment. If it had any of the powertrain I would be more inclined to keep it in stock form. But since it's just the body, frame and axles and there are quite a few of these old jeeps around here. I thought I could make a cool hotrod out of it and set it apart from all the other old jeeps. But nothing is set in stone just yet and I may change my mind 10 times before I get to work on it.
I'm not totally sure the benefits of using gears vs chain. However I think it would be pretty cool and a good conversation starter. I guess you would never get timing chain slack so that's neat
Thanks for your input. It probably would be a good conversation starter when people tell me that there's something wrong with my power steering pump. Lol
Hey could you do a video on how to take out the vent window? Mines broke off the pivot piece and I’m confused on how it comes out. I feel a visual video would do me well, thanks!
It was a TCI transmission that already had the parts to hook it up. So I only had to hook up one wire. I know TCI sells the part for witch ever transmission you have. I believe there are 2 different styles. There are videos on RU-vid. I think I seen videos of people hooking them up with the stock parts also. Hope this helps.
Originally I used a radiator from autozone but the radiator cap wouldn't seal to the plastic tub. Then I got a aluminium Summit racing radiator part # sum-384041.
Is it a shorty van, cause i want 1 like this one but the 146 inch i believe is called or the 15 passenger seater, cause I want one exactly like 1 but the long 1 as I just mentioned
