My stock 350 motor is burning its fair share of oil these days...
So I bought a wrecked 2006 Chevy van 3500 for the motor, transmission and related electrical parts.

I read a few of the swaps here and found some great info, figured I would add the knowledge.

I've owned the truck for at least 10 years. It's bone stock but has power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, and air conditioning.
I like the look of the truck in stock form and two tone paint. Currently Orchid and White.

My plan is to clean up the engine bay, fix a couple minor rust issues and do the engine and trans swap.

I will need to figure out where to host images, so I can post pictures. Any good places?
