4x4 Tan Van - On The Rocks 4 of 6

I've owned this van for over 15 years now and am constantly adding to her uses. Camper, hauler, snow storm squasher, snowmobile/motorcycle carrier, and above all just plan fun machine, made 2 years of work converting her (performed in my driveway) to 4 wheel drive well worth the effort. A few spects are - 2001 Dana 70 posi rear, Dana 60 front, 411 ratios, NP Dodge HD T-case, rebuilt Torqueflite 727, original 360v8, 35" tires, custom drive shafts - exhaust -suspention - & steering. Some day the turbulance of promoting the varied genre novel Seven Skins will bare fuit as all my machine creations have done. To see more of these classics in use, ascend over to my channel and enjoy the rides.

I'm a mechanical noob, but it looks like your wheel wells aren't quite big enough for the tires, not knocking it, I think an off-road van is fantastic. What's your wheelbase like and do you find that the rear over hang is a problem? I've only been wheeling once and in a Bronco (I love the Bronco). The visibility out the front looks like it would be fantastic though.

My front axle swings forward when compressed and have not had any clearance problems yet. Stock wheelbase and 8" wider track, best make fullsize van for forward visibility with the short sloping hood.

Nice van. Great fab work. To jojoncrystal, yours probably looks like a 3 day rig fest!

@vintagemachines hey what tranny did you use to make it 4wd and do you know of a standard transmission that coud fit directly on engine

[SixSpeedSS]

What a beast!

I do like the unconventional aspect of it. But when I get a wheeler of my own, a Ford Bronco will be much cheaper and easier to make into a off-road rig. Hell, Broncos are pretty damn capable right out of the box, or were. But, the van is really awesome and really unique.
