So I saved this 2000 express van from the crusher its been sitting in the back lot at work for probably 2 years the guy that drove it got fired and after that it just sat and sat. Got it for a whopping good price and put a battery in it and drove it home. Not sure what to do with it yet. Maybe a 70s styled funk van lol.

Looks perfect to go into the P.I. business and do stake outs.

If you don't put a mattress in the back, you shouldn't even own it. haha Nice grab! Those are bulletproof.

That is the perfect parts hauler! Got a big block? No problem. Throw it in the back. Oh you have a dana 60 and a 14 bolt too? I'll take them both. Throw them in the back too. What? You have a nice front clip too? No problem. Throw it in the back also. Do you see a pattern here? Plus you still have some room left to throw a mattress in too! Nice score!

I owned an '04 Express for a few years and really liked it. They steer and drive nice, not like vans from the 70's that felt like a school bus.

I love vans. Side pipes and a set of cragers is all you need. Maybe a cute little hula girl on the dash.

I drive an 07 express daily for my company and love the way it drives and handles. And also like the room that they have. I'd like to make the van look nicer the steel wheels are going to be going and gonna paint the bumpers and repaint the grille too. Prob going to pull the front rubber mat and undercoat and clean under it. May do some black paint on the outside on the rockers not sure.
