We are looking for a grill for this 1991 GMC G20 Rally extended van. If anyone has one , and wants to sell it, LMK. The one in the pix is not original, not even sure what an original looks like. I think the trucks are 3/4 inches wider? I think this is the correct look.- Craig Nedrow

spent the day working on damaged panels from previous owners. It was a bugger, but I used fiberglass and matt to fix the panel, and it worked good. Tomorrow we will start paneling the sides as all the work is completed now so we can do this. I will raptor line the other side tomorrow as...- Craig Nedrow

More done on the van. The trip to the coast I felt some vibration at higher speeds, so when I came home I pulled the drive line. Sure enough, the U joint in back was dry, so I replaced all three and the carrier. Got it installed today and took it for a test drive. Seems good, but our roads are...- Craig Nedrow

I am making (of course) my own rack out of unistrut, (helps having a cool son-in-law who owns his own electrical business,) but this van has no...- Craig Nedrow

Jan wanted to walk the beach on her 70th, so we loaded up and went to where she stayed as a traveling nurse, Ocean City RV resort, a hidden gem. Back story, Jan has had two back surgeries in less then 6 months, been poorly for a year before that, It's been tough, but we made it. Why do women...- Craig Nedrow

Don't know, Perry might be a craft beer drinker.....just sayin'. Went from a 325 horse 350 to a 375 454 same OLD radiator, never a problem and I hauled lots of hay in 90+ heat in central WA ST.

What's the first move?
You’ve got some really good stuff in her 454 a 400 transmission. It’ll have the big 14 full floater with a 13 inch brakes in the back. It’s got the heavy duty suspension those campers specials had all the good stuff on them. I’d buy that in the New York mini.- Craig Nedrow

Rear disc vs drum
Just got done upgrading to the 13 inch brakes on my 14 I like them a lot but let me tell you those hubs are heavy. 13 inch Brakes are much better than the 11s I had on there. It cost me 225 bucks to rebuild the entire brake system, including everything new except the backing plates.- Craig Nedrow

Best idea for support for painting truck bed?
Here is a few pics of the 85 I did this last fall. Used Raptor liner, one kit did all the underside. Paint the frame while you are in there. One day with a wire brush, it'll make you happy!- Craig Nedrow

Best idea for support for painting truck bed?
Made steel saw horses that way we could get inside and work on the inside and underneath the bed to flip it over I used a pallet and flipped it the bulkhead side, then lifted it.
