Scrapped & Saved 1990 Chevy G20 Hightop Van 

Can anyone tell me why my videos are stuck at 360p for quality ? The last two videos turned out that way. I film them in 1080hd or 4K and upload them over very good WiFi . I checked over my phone and RU-vid settings but still have no luck ?

I remember seeing these Vans all over the place back in the day Good stuff man👍

Did the guy see the condition of that van before he made the decision to tear it apart,why not just buy a used 350 lol,poor van

Another cool truck that must be saved.

Love those old G-20 Vans. Have owned a few.

Very awesome I like when you drive the vehicle's this van rocks I remember this van Chevy made some sold cars and truck

would have made a nice vehicle for someone in a wheelchair who cant afford much for transportation or someone who helps move people in wheelchairs

My friend had a windowless g20 converted van in high school. We used to skip class and hide in it to eat crackers and toke. We nicknamed that van the 'hot box' Miss those days.. Glad this one was saved. These things are memory generators!

It's good to know that Chevy Vans 10,20,30 Sport and Bonaventure merged into one: the current Express line. The 90's are back with this great model,Jay Smart

Whoever bought that van got a sweet deal on that van

Why didn’t he take the whole van! $1200 for an 89k van is a steal!

if a zombie outbreak ever occurs, I would be driving a van like this

Perfect for tailgating. NASCAR infield party wagon. I love the old T.B.I systems, simple and reliable.

I have a 93 chevy G20 with 97,000 miles on her

nice to see it being sold and not sitting to rot or is in the line up ready to be scrapped or parted out,

Man ruined a somewhat perfect van just for a engine and trans that can be found in a van or truck that cant be used cause its been wrecked or completely rusted

WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU WITH US!

THIS VAN WOULD'VE BEEN THE PERFECT STONER MOBILE FOR ME AND MY HOMIES!!! NEXT TIME YOU HAVE A MINT VAN LIKE THIS FOR SALE HIT ME UP!!!!

The guy who bought this is the same type of guy that would wind up on To Catch a Predator

I would try to sell the wheelchair lift .

WELCOME ABOARD, JAY SMART!

Cool a square body lending some battery juice to another square body! (And that awesome sound of two Chevy 350s burbling away)

I wish I lived near there, I'd grab that van even without the drivetrain/etc haha

I could use so much outta that van for my G10😮

If you'd known about 'Disabled American Vets.com',it woulda been bought whole.for one.

Well that's sad to see, I love these vans. A ton of one or two year only parts in them, I would save the column, cluster, and rear doors if nothing else off the carcass. It took me a year up here to find another column that would work in an '88 and I have yet to install it.

That’s a cool van, too bad the buyer is going to break it! One can only hope he changes his mind and keeps it as is

RIP G20.. I love the old school Vans 70s and 80s Id love to one day own or build a 4x4 full size van with lockers🖤

I have this same van but mine is in super nice condition never been wrecked no rust & not a single dent it’s super straight & the interior looks brand new mines a 1991 with the 5.7l I love the look of these old vans, it’s a highway cruiser it pulls super hard on the highway top end & it will roast the tires lol

Great deal for you. Hey, it’s hot out, just drop in another drive train and that will make a great ice cream van. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! I see a side hustle in the makings here! Thanks Jay.

Given the pretty severe rust this one appears to have then parting it out is probably the best option. If someone bought that to do up it would probably turn into one of those "I'll get round to it one day" deals that never gets done and then ends up getting dragged back into the yard and weighed in when everything is far too far gone to do anything with. At least this way your customer gets a decent drive train and other customers can pick over the carcass for what they need to keep other going. And you might be able to get your missing table top and replacement steering wheel too so it's a win all round...

Wow what a shame/low-key waste in parting her out, guess it's better to have a customer than to lose one lol But yeah, stuff like the grille, the 4 cup holder wooden table, and especially the gauge cluster are worth saving for other Chevys.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I love the older vanduras like this one

Who would buy a 1990 Chevy van, just to take the drive train and transmission out of it? That's sad. 😥😪😓

Great video Jay wood have made a nice vehicle to be put back on the road or a nice camper

Poor van and if it could talk I'm sure it's not to happy right now lol,😆...

Here in norway there`s lots og Chevy G20 and G30 vans, but they are mostly 6.2 diesels. actually the diesel vans gets not that terrible fuel millage. first hand experience :)

nice, looking chevy van. thank, you for you're video. Random vanners. east coast of virginia. 2%

Technically speaking the van did get a fair chance at being rehomed. Turns out the new owner only wanting its organs! 😬 But if you pay full price in cash you can do whatever you want with it ! And as part of the deal we are removing the drivetrain for him. So here we go ! Check it out one last time before disassembly! Thanks for watching !

YOU'RE WELCOME!

I was reading the odometer when the refector covered it and I was lke 289.... 089,000 miles! What!

Scrapped & Saved 1990 Chevy G20 Hightop Van

When you shut the van off my heart stopped. i am sad now.

Love the old chevy vans

Lol yes thank you. Ugh I love these vans

That guy ain’t right. You don’t destroy a perfectly good traveling vehicle. Especially with miles like that. If i had bought its going on a road trip. 😊😎🤯

Well money made either way, good deal!!!

Oh my gawd, I love you!!!

That's too funny...I would have just taken the whole thing and keeped it for awhile, then if someone needed one with wheel chair left and can't afford a brand new van I'd probably just give it to them under the terms they'd takecare of it. But I guess if all he wanted was the drive train and met your price...its like what are you gonna do but give him what he wants. Great video along with all your other's!

That Van gets 9 miles to the gallon on a good day so anyone saying its a shame to see it go has never owned one.

I'll take that factory radio if it's not too late already.

That's a damn shame that was a nice van but I can tell you one thing I've driven a few of those old days before and they are a nightmare to keep on the road because the tires are literally underneath of you

My parents had a blue normal top MKIII version of this van when I was a kid, same engine and all. Its really weird to hear this one running cuz it sounds just like when I was a kid lmao.

Its a gem

Damn, i need some of those parts.

Amigo... MERECES UN CIELO PARA TÍ SOLO!

I would've bought that whole van. 89k and it sounds like a beast

My father used to have the 1988 GMC model.. once he had a race with a BMW M3 and he won the race with the GMC hahaha those where amazing times

Lots of good parts to save another.

Get the torch out and drop the motor and trans buy buy van

jay going full sale with this one!

it sounds grate

I have three extra 350 carberated engines and driveline... trade in FL lol? Hate to see a good vehicle lose its guts. Wish you guys were closer to me!

I be laughing if he blew a rod everytime he revs it up high..lol

Yeah that’s cool van I want some parts

You can buy a brand new GM crate engine in JEGGS for 1500 with a 3 year GM warrantee, its a huge pain in the ass to pull the engines in these things you have to take the grill all apart and take the radiator support out to slide it out the front

Very good

You know those wheelchair lives are Mega expensive you should make sure you hang on to it and sell it

I LOVE THAT VAN!!!!

Would have love that van

Yeah that's a real shame but at least it will give another vehicle some life

You should put another drive train in it and sell the van...again. :-)

Even with no drive train i bet you could sell the rest of the van to someone who wants it.

I see a PA inspection tag on the windshield. Quite a ways from where you are at.

What a shame. Beautiful van.

My friend kevin the chili man use to have one of those vans same year he drove the heck out of his until he sold it and bought him a 09 silverado 4x4 ext cab

Why was that scrapped in the first place ?

Jay, put the van in your 'secret' stash of cars in the area behind the building that you kept the Buick Skylark and the white 1991 Honda Civic sedan in. You put the really good condition maroon 9th Gen Ford F150 there, so why can't you do that with this van.

3:57 You should have told the buyer who only wanted the driverrain to take a hike!

The wheels and tires for your suburban

That motor usually good for about 300 thousand miles

That is a shame. Nice van. Whatever melts their butter, I suppose.

Wow two chevys that start that means jesus is coming back!

Well since that van is is being scrapped, that's one less older van that will be down the street from me with some dude living in it.

My brother had a van like that

its a damn shame but like you said nothin you can do cant save em all. oh well

Cool Van 😀

Shame about the van, but I imagine that rug's got some nasty goo trapped in it.

Hey those Goodyear sra's are great tires

When you rev it, it sounds like gun shots

nice

Would have made a great camper as well.

I recently bought a 1980 Chevy van G20. The air didn't work but it drove great. I bought the compressor, condenser, and evaporator. I'm just missing the lines that connect it all. I believe its called an a/c suction line assembly hose. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN ORDER ONE FROM?

The wheelchair lift is not cheap and can be removed and re-installed into another van.

Those things last forever

And for the wheels

Save that steering wheel. If not I need it lol

Could always find a donor engine an trans and resell it again... but that is a hassle to go through.

It is shame about the van, it deserves more life, can you not throw another motor and trans in her after and them put her up for sale again for $800 - $1000 bucks guys, after all you are a scrap, breakers, dismantlers yard, so I'm sure you could find something to save her.
