Vemco Vx4 (Van)

Yes, I know, it's a van.. But wanted to share anyway. Have seen a 71 before (in a thread on the 67-72 side of the house), but never a squarebody era conversion. Unique dual front diff arrangement. On CL at the moment: https://wichitafalls.craigslist.org/...456252344.html

Re: Vemco Vx4 (Van)

cool rig, that front end is sure a collection of parts that may be a bit hard to find, but it’s still cool.

Re: Vemco Vx4 (Van)

Interesting way to build AWD...
I like the old vans but I don't need any more projects with hard to find parts.

More Info on the Vemco V-Drive AWD system.

Re: Vemco Vx4 (Van)

That is Bizarre. If you had to have a low rider I guess that was the way to go.

The front clip looks like something I could put next to the bonfire with my Toroflow and stand around and drink beer and stare at them.

Re: Vemco Vx4 (Van)

I saw one of those 4x4 van in our local junk yard with that 4x4 set up. I spent like 10 mins looking at it just trying to figure it out. Id never seen another one until now. Its different for sure!
