Hi All, Im chasing something like a Grumman LLV, i cant find anything any Australia similar. If they are over heres theres only a hand full. I would like to do one as a project when i run out of things to do, problem is by the time i pay for shipping i need to get a cheap one. Are there any that are more reliable than others? Any vans to avoid? Cheers, Nick

    I worked on them in the 90's. They were just a Chevy S-10 chassis with a 2.5 4cyl TH180 transmission and a GM 7.5 Rear axle. Not the greatest of anything to start with. Plus, the aluminum bodies rattled so bad it's a wonder the drivers didn't all go insane.

    Hi mate, They look so cool tho, would be a head Turner over here. The other one which will be harder to track down is a kubvan. Cheers
