I just watched that the other day too. I liked it.
At the end of the movie when he’s in his 4x4 (Ford) van it got me thinking. How bad ass it would be to have a pre-smog CHEVY 4x4 van, so i started looking into it. I kind of already knew Chevy didn’t make a 4x4 van from the factory but i was looking at ones for sale and/or conversion kits made for them. Pretty cool shit but i think i’m gonna just stick to my other plan. A K5 Blazer build with an LS swap. Would put the 408 stroker in there i wanna start building soon. Hey! A guy can dream right lol. The dreams I have while on the shitter always seem to cost the most.
