A100 cargo van gasser or slammed

Gasser

 

I'm not sure you've considered the technical aspects of this endeavor. Raising the van is certainly possible, but unless you are going to disect the whole vehicle and install a killer motor, it is almost totally without benefit. Even with a killer motor, it would probably work better at stock height. Lowering is possible, but has quite a number of substantial difficulties, not the least of which are clearances (to the wheel well right under the driver) and suspension geometry.

If you can lower it effectively for a reasonable amount of money, I think you will dazzle and amaze quite a few of us......

 

snagged these pics from ebay a couple years ago....

 

I like that. Little bit of rake but on it's nuts

 

I'm thinking lowered with a Scooby Doo paint scheme...

 

Gassers rule.........

 

Lowered in the front so far , but would love to slam it !

 

Ever driven one of these things? Drift? Ha, that's a good one. At the local car night my girlfirend siad I should do a burnout in my van. I told her, no burnouts, the van will dissagree and something will fall off! These things handle like the ss minnow.

slam it as low as it will go i seen a van that drug doors at a show back when i was still in the custom truck sceen. It was tight as hell. but that look would work well on a nice set of mags or some white walls to.

 

I like the lowered look too.
I did the front and rear axle flip treatment on my Deora replica, with great success.
However, the suspension travel is severely compromised, so consider C notching your framerails if you do this to your van.
Either that, or try and find a place that will drop your stock front I beam axle.

 

got 14s up front on mine and a 2" lift in the rear with 295 60 15s in the assend both pickup and van. what a rake! looks killer. the only thing the van didnt about the rake was the ball n trunion u joint after the tranny failed so i modified my drive shaft to a regular u joint.

 

They sit just fine the way they are.

 

Slammed to the dirt.

 

These are Econolines but Im sure they will work just as well with the A-100.

Chopped chaneled sectioned...

 

I'm slamming mine. It's an 108 long wheel base window van.

 

Cant beat a slight rake on the shorter vans.............kinda like that red dodge.....BITCHIN

 

Lowered

 

van- slam it!!!!!!

 

slammin a van aint that easy kinda hard to move the wheels up when they are under your ass..JMO

 

Whats wrong with a little road rash

 

Drag race stance low down forward rake 15x32's out back and skinnies up front . Best to just accept it will corner like an elephant and on that note how about a blown hemi to keep you warm in there. Anyways my two cents, Rob.
