We use passenger side drop Chevrolet and GMC squarebody axles. But if the spring pad spacing is 31-32 inches it will work. Thanks for watching.

Great work! Love seeing people filling the holes in the manufacturing world. Just out of curiosity. Do you think your kit would work in a short bus? Not that I’m going to build one, just thinking it would be very cool in my opinion. Hope you and yours have a great and Happy Thanksgiving!

Can you use a bulldog 4 speed ? I am looking at trading up a g20. My 78 k10 got totaled but its got strong running gears 383 stroker with the old bull dog manual. Just didn't know considering the motor sets farther back in the van. If a manual was a possibility but i love a manual especially the old granny low 4 speeds. When i rolled my truck i didnt have a family now I do and i have been talking about building a 4x4 g van for a while. I was considering just swapping the van onto the truck frame but had a guy tell me you cant it wont fit 🤷‍♂️. The truck had low rebuilt miles on everything its just smooshed flater than a pancake.but i would say 5000 miles on everything max since going thru it and i have been trying to decide what i want to do with it and theres a lot of cool and practicality in the g van. I am in between a square body burb or a g van. But i think the g van is just cooler and turns more heads but the manual would probably be the deal breaker if i am tied to an auto in the g van.

I run a rather large van group on Facebook and have been vanning for a LONG time. I think the ass end of each of these vans are too low. The front end of each of these vans are taller than the rears. Looks like great quality but that may have been something that was overlooked

@theswimshop4x4 8 ай бұрын

I will say the angle of those pictures do make them look low. But, we do build them just a slight bit lower in the rear. No Carolina squat by any means. I personally hate to see a 4x4 any higher at all in the rear. That's for Boogie Vans. Thanks for watching and nothing was overlooked.
