    I've got a 64 Handy-van 4x4 that looks factory. Anyone know if GMC made one?
    It'll take some time to get some pics.

    GM never made any 4x4 vans in the 1st or 2nd gen Chevy or Gmc vans.

    Thanks HandiMan for the reply, man everything under the van looks like it came that way, kinda military. I'll try to get some pics in the next week or so.
    Thanks G-Man!

    Being that it's all leaf springs, and Blazer axles pretty much bolt up, it's fairly straightforward to make a fo]actory looking install.


    Does it have 6 lug axles?

    It's 5 lug axles. The lugs are like 1", The lug nuts are 1 1/2, Its got a 15 bolt rear end that comes apart like a 9" ford. The vans at my pops house, so I have limited info right now. I'll get pics this week. I guess it would be easy to bolt on and look factory. Thought it could have been special order or somthing. Thanks for the info!

    The ends on the front axle remind me of a Toyota axle.
