    No affiliation, yadda yadda.

    Might make an interesting project, for anyone interested.

    Default interesting

    Nice find!

    I expected to see a rust bucket after 10 years and 100,000 miles on roads where salt is used to reduce icing. But the photos of the undercarriage don't look too bad! A 19 foot length overall is actually a little short for a full size van. Solid front axle, diesel motor, standup headroom, sounds good!

    I don't think my homeowners association would let me park it in the driveway, however!

    I agree, an interesting find.

    The 6.5 under the hood would be a deal killer for me though. I know there are some loyalists out there who love that motor, but the 6.6 would make it really enticing.

    I have never seen the need to have favorite quotes. Now that I think of it, people usually quote me.

    Darn. My weak spot. And I'm a van man without a van.

    Does anybody know if there would be a legal problem with installing a passenger seat?

    The ground clearance under the front axle doesn't look that great because of the springs - is this normal for GMC or Quigley vans? What can be done about it?

    Cheers,
