    This is a 1986 Chevy full size cargo van that has been shortened. This would make a very cool and unique cruiser, street rod, or show vehicle. I picked it up recently on an impulse because I think it has a lot of potential, but the reality is that I have other projects in process, so I wouldn't get to this any time soon. I'm making room and letting it go real cheap. I could probably scrap it for the asking price, but it's too cool to scrap. The frame shortening is already done, and the body has been shortened, welded and blended on the sides. The floor and roof welding will need to be completed. The interior is typical bare cargo van - just look at it as a blank canvas ready for your custom ideas. The seat pedestals are there, but no seats. The van was originally a manual transmission with a floor shift. The pedals and big floor shifter are still there. Also included are things like grille, driveshaft (needs to be shortened), and bellhousing. There is no motor or transmission. Van does have a clear title. If interested, you can call me at 616-581-6215. Thanks.

    Since everyone who has called has asked the same question, I will say it again - THERE IS NO MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION. If you want a motor too, I do have a spare 350 4-bolt main short block (no heads or intake) that I will sell for an additional $150.

    If interested, you can call me at 616-581-6215. Thanks.

    Is it long enough to fit a drivetrain in?

    It's only there to give mounting points for the wheelie bars.

    And they thought the 15 passenger van was a death trap!
