Got myself a beast!
« on: August 24, 2017, 08:36:34 PM »
Hi All, I know this rig probably stretches the definition of "truck" quite a bit but this seems like a great forum, so I joined. ^_^

1985 Grumman 18' step van with a GMC 350 motor with HEI distributor, 4 speed manual gearbox (would like to eventually upgrade to 5 or 6).  Just installed that Lightbar for camping adventures. :)

Oh and it runs on propane. I'm still learning a lot about that system. Never even seen one before, but the time and price felt right; I couldn't say no. I already have questions for you all.

Welcome from Mass.
I almost bought 1 of those trucks with a Cummins 4BT in it a few years ago.
