No affiliation, yadda yadda.

Might make an interesting project, for anyone interested.

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.

That is bad ***!! Brings the short bus to a higher level.

Lord,

Please help me be strong! Ive been blessed with this wonderful suburban and should be greatful, BUT I WANT IT!

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,
Graham
