Bug out van

First off this is NOT mine. But you may want it. More pictures would be nice. 75 4x4 van $6000.

https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/c...674803458.html

FOR SALE or TRADE: 1 ton 4x4 work van. Too many upgrades to list, but basically everything except the motor has been rebuilt or replaced:
>>Small block 350 with ram horn exhaust manifolds and a rebuilt 795 cfm quadrajet carburetor.
>>Newer exhaust with the smallest mufflers available.
>>Radiator, heater core, water pump and all hoses have been replaced.
>>Fuel pump, power steering pump, and related lines replaced or custom built.
>>Rebuilt T350 with huge Allison torque converter.
>>Rebuilt divorced NP205 transfercase.
>>Both driveshafts rebuilt, balanced, and lengthened.
>>Both axles rebuilt with new bearings and seals, the rear is a GM 14 bolt with a brand new TrueTrac in it.
>>Tie rods ends replaced, drag link ends replaced.
>>Wheel bearing have all been replaced.
>>New locking hubs.
>>New brake drums, new drilled/slotted rotors, longer braided stainless steel brake lines installed, new master cylinder, new calipers, new brake cylinders and hardware.
>>5 new Dick Cepek mud terrain tires and steel wheels.
>>Rebuilt leaf springs, replaced shocks.
>>Freshly rebuilt custom front and rear bumpers. Front and rear skid plates.
>>Custom 37.5 gallon fuel cell.
>>The steering column has been rebuilt.
>>The frame has been reinforced, every connection the unibody made to the frame has been 100% welded up.
>>It has two 12v batteries, PA, a 5000kw generator on the drivers side, hi-lift jack, fire extinguisher, 120v ac on the roof, backup alarm, backup horn, backup camera, and electric "backup" shotgun mount.

Though it's driven weekly it's probably not a daily driver till the motor gets replaced. I baby-it alittle upon startup by feathering the gas and I don't typically go any faster than 85mph on the freeway, usually I keep it to 70mph - though I recently used it to help move my welding shop and it did 90mph on the freeway with over 1500lbs of steel and equipment in the back with no issues. This vehicle is very heavy so I often downshift when braking.

To me, I feel that this has the potential to be restored and kept around another 50 years. That's what I want, so I slashed the price by 5,000 in order that the right family gets it and takes care of it.

Give me a call today - no reasonable buy/trade offers will be refused.

Re: Bug out van

the seller starts out with "Too much to list" and my first thought was "too much something". I'd pay 6k if it didn't have all the craptastic personalization done. I'd deduct a dollar for every dollar he spent on that... including a value on his time! Prolly would be about 1k after that.

Re: Bug out van

So was the climb up on the bumper gab handle added in the one picture or is that one from before they cut it off to get out of the way?
