'93 G30 454 4X4 EXT, 4l80E, np205, 4-56 spicers in a Dana ft & r., Bilstien 5100's, BFG 315/75/16, 146" wheelbase. This was all factory or govt, well almost I have increased the tire size to mellow The Beast, still way more motor than tire, Chevy only made 3 of these . Its a 2 seater ripped out the 4 benchseats & diamond the floor, oaked the walls, fishing rod racks, limo roof, 12 speaker 1000 watt sony surround, my quads garage , telescope that you can count the rings of Saturn and oh yea a Hammoc to sleep in and watch the stars. Otherwise its the garage for my Quad a 350 Yami.

The Beast has done 270 miles of the Baja 1000 in 03 as a chase truck (got 8 MPG ), from here to Tucson & back in 10 hrs, 6 ft in the air behind Lake Morena, last May I took a 7 week road trip to the Florida Keys and back 6700 miles ( got 14 MPG). Both are Factory.... it is a 1 of 3 and the white van is a 1 of 16...
Its just quite rare ... its made Hot Rod, Truckin. Custom 4X, Extreme 4X and Drive magazines. It does turn heads. My grandsons name is already on the pink for when I pass, but he wants it NOW .... lol

Translation please ....

Hello, I'm a spammer, and I want you to give me your hard earned money for free.

Thanks!

Actually I'm glad he bumped this thread. I missed it. That red van is totally bad azz!!

I wanted to do the same thing when I was a kid and snow skiing all the time. Big block 4x4 van.

That's super bad azz! 👍👍

Thank you kindly ... its not a custom its FACTORY ! Except I have put larger tires on it, came with 265's, I burned them off in 3 months so I have gone up to 315's(35's).
LOTS of HP and TORC ... well I guess the interior is custom ...lol

The govt ordered it Chevy built it, sent it down to Armortec in TX bullet proof glass N steel plates in the walls, then the Cuban Diplomats used it in Miami 3 yrs later the Nevada Maintaince Sys got it and was out looking for oil in Elco, 2000 Olympics grabbed it to take Skiers up N down the hill 4 months later I got it in a govt auction for 12.5 .... been offered 50K for the last decade.

All with a 3" lift, 2"body and a 1" block under the suspension.

Again thanks for the KUDO'S

They welded a 2' thick walled tube to the end of frame rails right behind the bumper, there they welded the shackles ... Yes it is a unibody and the frame rails are in that mold. The frame rails stick out of each end of the mold to attach the ft and rear suspension assy's.
