A100 cargo van gasser or slammed

Ive got a 67 A100 and can't decide whether to go up or down. What do you think?

 

always loved the little red wagon wheelstander, i'd go gasser!

 

love the trucks as gassers but I think I prefer the vans slammed...either way they are awesome...post up some pix of yours when ya get the chance

 

gas it

 

Love that design. Vans look better lowered to me.

 

Neither - go with a 60-70's style van vibe with a bit of rake

 

how about a simple (cheap) gasser look ?
mags on front,painted steel wheels on back..

Something like this.....but a Mopar van.

 

How about custom? This is what we were doing on my friend's A100.

Double A -

That's a bit of crude Photoshop but it's what's being fabbed. 60's style custom with twin rocker exit exhaust tips, rear license plate pocket, shaved and seams filled, radius door corners and hidden hinges with nerf bars. Candy tangerine with silver white pearl for the band. Blocking out a long wheelbase van is loads of fun!

 

What did you do for hinges Ive seen some that aren't cheap

 

Vans Suck!

 

Hinges are custom made just for it. I've never seen an A100 with hidden hinges. Tight fit in the front but it keeps the horizontal band unbroken. We are doing all 6 doors. 318 makes a nice rumble.

Rake it instead of slamming it. I wouldn't gasser it unless it was a short wheelbase PU. You are already up there with the stock suspension.

 

Those comercials were awesome. I love the blue Ford. Reminds me of the black chevy van in the movie Old School.

ya, theres just something badass about a van drifting and doing smokey burnouts, lol.

 

It's a black Dodge in the movie

 

I would say no gasser. I dig the idea of either a slammed custom, or with a rake like the blue one in the travel commercial.

I prefer the stock stance, but between those two choices I'd go gasser.

I say, paint it baby blue, angel hair interrior, disco ball, white walls, and a big rainbow logo on the side......or you could go gasser with it.

 

"Cargo" Van....no windows??

 

Have you figured out how to slam it? I don't know how similar they are to Econolines, but dropping an Econoline is a LOT of work. I know a lot of us would like to know how you would do it.

 

They look so sweet slammed!

 

Yes short wheelbase no windows

 

For now, just to see what it looked like , I took the three helpers out. Now I'm on the bump stops but it looks cool.
