    Hey Moe, I was thinking the 66 Guinea Pig would be a good candidate. No pesky drive train in the way. Lots of weight reducing holes cut in it. removable dash. other than that she's cherry. and cheap! Alot of assembly required! LOL

    I live in midland. I wanted a halfway decent body but I don't want a van that is too nice because it would be a shame to molest the poor thing. haha I have a fair amount of fabrication skills and it is for my mud bogger so a rusty crusty is ok but not boneyard material will work fine. A decent roof would be all I would be worried too much about. The 108 wheel base would be a plus as well. post a pic if you by chance have anything to offer.

    If I could find a nice 4x4 first or second gen g van I would consider trading my daily driver for one as well.I know you all love your vans and would not want to trade for an 86 truck but I am throwing it out there anyway.in michigan G van wanted NITEPIC2mini_zpsdd34463cin michigan G van wanted IMG-20110611-00012-1-1

    hey Axle I'm dead west of ya about halfway across. Think you are probably right wanting a 108 wheel base. The one I have is just a shell and has been molested already. It is pretty solid tho, but has 3 holes in the roof from a sunroof and vents. Its also the short 90" WB. I think there was a 4x4 shorty project on Craigslist on the west side of the state earlier this fall tho. Check Vanish's posts he is an officiando on the 4x4 stuff.

    This is what it looked like before I started messing with it.

    I have the rear wheel wells cut for tubbing, the rear roll pan has been cut out. And I have removed the dash and stripped everything out. There is some rust over the pass. side door and inside valence. If ya think ya might be interested, give me a call.

    Axlejack I've got a 67-108 display. No motor,trans,gas tank, or seats. All glass is good, doors all open and close. Roof is solid with a few small holes where stuff was mounted at one time, some surface rust. Doghouse has been removed but I have it. It rolls, brakes worked the last time I tried them and steering is in tact.

    Now the bad part, I'm about 650 miles from you in Kevil Ky. Let me know if your interested.
