Drove it onto the trailer from the back 40, havent really paid much attention to it other than that. I'll take a look at it tonight when I get home, I know its a 10 bolt.

I talked to the guy who has the airfilter assembly. He says he will see if he can get it back to me.

M1D

Thanks

The diff seems to be in good condition. I have not pulled the cover off, but there doesnt seem to be any play out of the ordinary.

OK thanks..let me know when you pull the cover and see whats inside. Did you buy this van strictly for parts originally?

Yup.....will do, and yes bought for parts. Thought about bringin it back. Dont need 2 GM vans.......maybe a P/U next.

Got everything back together and no spare parts left. Glad I took pictures of the brakes since it's been 30 years since I had drums. Added six 90lbs bags of cement in the rear to lower it and push the driveshaft in...thanks Don. Have a project to use them later at home. Have to change the gas line. A shop want's $5 per foot for a new stainless steel line. Any other options like brakelines? I want to change it I think it's full of rust.

check on the 5ft sections of brakeline, think you can get that ina stainless , I used 2 chunks with a union in the middle, Just make darn sure the union is tight. I found out "just snug" leaks.

That's what Don said to do. It's probably a lot cheaper too. Did you use some type of sealer on the threads??

No, the actual seal is done by the flare on the tubing and where it seats.
