- Just a brief walk around and introduction to my latest project. It's an aluminum body built by Grumman Olson. They used various chassis'. This one is a Chevrolet P30. It's a 1 ton van with a solid I beam front end.
I've done some trading and will be swapping in a 5.3 lm7 and a 4l80e trans. I'm hoping to utilize 73-87 Chevy c10 front cross member and suspension up front. The rear will be swapped from the big 8 lug 1 ton unit to a 6 lug one from the same year c10.
I'm still on the fence about putting it on air ride. Money is tight and so is the head room inside. If i drop it like that the notch cover in the rear will be intrusive.
Anyways thanks for watching and hopefully before too long I'll be making some progress.
Any suggestions on a name for this thing?
I have a 1961. Very similar. Vacuum wipers though.
Nice van!
We revived a 1964 GM P30 Kurbside, 12' body, very similar to this. Your find is more complete than ours was.
Our project was removing and boxing the 1-ton frame, swapping to 64" rear springs and 52" front springs, GM based, and going to Dana 60 and AAM 11.5 axles with a Cummins 6BT/NV4500 manual transmission. Around 30K miles on it since 2017. It's a 4x4 camper that tows 10K+ happily.
Sounds like a fun time! I need to get some progress made on mine.
Do you know where the numbers are I just bought one of these and need to know what year and the serial numbers are
Red dash needs to get blitzed...
Anything but that red up there. Thinking sublime green.
