Hey itruns,,,,,,

Um ur van is dirty I like it

Hey Donivan:

Raised and schooled with the Saprano type folk in Elmwood Park (right next to Chicago). My glass shop is now in Elk Grove Village (5 minutes from O'Hare), and my residence is 5 minutes from the Chain of Lakes near the Wisconsin border. I'm leaving a very large carbon footprint.

My first real large project was at the old Kodak building (18th and Prarie), across from the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum (just west of Soldiers Field). A lot has changed in the last 10+ years. Condos, lofts, high-rises everywhere.

You need any Italian sausage, "real" Uno's/Gino's East pizza, or anything else from the Windy City, let me know.

I do belive I sold you taillights

Dodgevanman:

Yup. I was having a very bad day and then two shiney red plastic discs came in the mail and put me in my happy place for a little while. At least the new mirrors and tail lights lens look good. Next scheduled stops - belly pans modifications, electrical work, windshield rubber, body work (ugh) and paint.

Ever find those pullys? What ever happened with the drive shaft issue? What else you got to do get your baby on the road?

Donivan:

Thanks- We were going to do BBQ ribs for for diner, now I'm thinking Combos!
Give me a shout next time your coming around.

Found the pullys and there on the way! so I will have it running (longer than 2 min's) then I need to put my new harness in (or repair old) it one of them universal ones for street rods...
The drive shaft is still needed to get a drive shaft made still...(when I get my car payed off) I need to get new fuel line and get that all done then It will be (driveable then I need to find out what else it need (brakes ect.) then all new rubber, windshields, and tons of other stuff but it will be moving agian soon i hope..

Are you trying to use the typical 727 tailpiece or are you going with a manual trans where a stock driveshaft won't work?

The stock drive shaft wont work...I dont know what im going to do I think I need a new trans.. I need a drive shaft thats about 1-1/2 2 foot so im not real shur

Is it a manual or automatic?

Auto, Was a manual...

Was the auto out of an A100? If so, someone should be able to hook you up with a stock driveshaft. If you have a trans with the long tailpiece, I don't think its going to work, but you should be able to swap the tailpiece with a shorty.

yea its a long tail.....its really hard to find a short...

Looks like you're going to be at a crossroads - new tailpiece, manual trans, or new trans w/ short tailpiece. I'm sure there's a donor van out there that someone can get a tailpiece for you. We'd all like to see you get that van back on the road.
