Project "Ole Yellar"/V8 1985 Astro - 7/7/2008 7:44:11 AM    1Gary Posts: 221 Joined: 5/24/2008 Status: offline Here is some pictures of my project van: Yeah-started with a old ice cream van. Well the decals,running boards,and bell are long gone.I have a no window slider,going to buy patch pannels to turn it into a no window cargo,and I am currently looking for no window rear doors. I bought this donor van for the crate 1996 TBI 350 that has already it installed into it.That way I get the computer,wiring harness,already done for the mods to a Astro.(the other thing is my van is a carbed version-so I needed these things anyways.) I recently swapped the steering column from the donor van to Ole Yellar so I now have a tilt steering,delay wiper,cruise control one.I also swapped the wheels and tires from the donor to Ole Yellar. More posts as time goes by. < Message edited by EuroGoldLS -- 7/13/2008 3:51:15 PM > Post #: 1

When you grab the harnesses, make sure to grab the 25amp circuit breaker as well _____________________________ If you have a question, ask it in the forums.
