I got a 99 express van with a 5.7 in it. took all my equipment out of the cargo trailer and into the van.
It's not quite what I'm used to, but it works. Its a 10 year old work van and needs a few things. Power steering has a leak, front bumper is dented, a few other misc stuff.
On another note, I've been making phone calls, going after the deadbeats that owe me money. I hear from a friend that one guy that owes me has a 98 or 99 express van with a blown motor he is trying to sell.
So I talk to him and he is willing to give me the van and take it off the balance that he owes me. I hear he wanted $500 for the van. He hasnt paid me a dime on what he owes me and the bill is over 3 years old. I've got about $700-800 in late charges added on his bill, and he isnt disputing that either.
He also tells me he just had a garnishment that sucked all the $ out of his bank account and is beyond broke. I looked up his address on his cities assessors site and it says he hasnt paid his property taxes is over 3 years.
I'm thinking get the van before the state/feds seize everything he owns. Then figure out what to do with it. Maybe part it out, maybe find a 5.7 and replace it.
Went and looked at the van and talked to the shop its sitting at. It came in on a tow truck because it overheated and was still hot when it got there. Definatly has a blow head gasket acording to the shop owner, and maybe more.
