Here is LUCINDA in her current state. My 1968 Chevy G20 Sportvan 108 Custom. This is kind of build thread, but I have already gotten alot work done, and she is running and driving and now I'm on to getting to making it usable. I found it on Craigslist by accident and I purchased her around Halloween 2014. It had been converted to 4x4 at some point probably mid 80's judging by what was left of the running gear/axles and welding/ fabrication. It had no engine or transmission, a really leaky divorced transfer case, and axles from the 60's. No interior either. The main reason I wanted it was it had no rust, and all the hard to find parts,and a working pop- top, and cool factor/ potential. I knew it was going to a hell of alot of work, and it was/is.
I considered many options for drivetrains, and finally decided to go with a Chevy 350, and related tranny,etc.. I found a suitable donor, a 1989 Chevy V2500, 3/4 ton, 5.7 litre TBI, auto tranny that I got for pretty cheap. And so it began.
Now she has a the Chevy 5.7 TBI, th400, np 241c, 14 bolt semi float rear axle, Dana 44 HD front, 6" + lift, electric power assist steering, hydroboost brakes, 295/75/16 Hankook Dynapro M/T, A.R.E 16x8 wheels, Smiitybilt awning, LED light bar, and whatever else I keep spending $$$ on.
