Wanted Jeep Fleetvan, FC, or old bread type delivery van

[N-Smooth]

I don't know what that is but I do know I need one.

EDIT: you can also get @Hickey to work on whatever you get and just pay him in beer.

That looks like a jeep fleetvan, but I'm into it!

The idea would be a keg rack in back as well as taps coming out the side to dispense at festivals.

Sounds like there isn't much hope in it running. Would swapping the body over to a running truck/van be viable, or would taking the drive train out of the donor and putting it into this make more sense?

Swapping just the body to a modern chassis would be awesome - better brakes, frame, steering, everything. A drivetrain-only swap would maybe be easier, but not net you as much in the end IMO.

x2, but it's a HUGE project. A 2WD Chevy S10 is a super common frame swap for all kinds of different vehicles and hot rods. You'd need to have the frame and driveshaft shortened to match the wheelbase.

Use a late 90's 4 cyl for simplicity and low cost. The thing is, I have no idea how close the body mounts and frame locations look between the 2.

You also might have to get tricky with the location of the radiator and engine, due to the vans body.

It would be easier to swap something like a simple, carbed 4 cyl engine like a Ford 2.3 and a 5 speed transmission. You'd still have to deal with the original frame, brakes and suspension, etc.

I wonder how close that would be to an Astro Van wheelbase?

They're subframe vehicles, unfortunately.

Could always do the 4wd van thing....

I think you need an ancient Uhaul. Keep all the Uhaul colors and steekers and add a Br in front of Uhaul.

Not necessarily, but I'm looking for something that is both a short distance delivery vehicle, but also a unique marketing piece. That's just not catch enough.

This came to mind.

School bus? The short one is what I was thinking, but a big 'un might be fun too.

The Quart Bus





I admit that was the worst pun in this whole thread and I am ashamed.

That's a new one for me, haven't even heard anything about it. It is pretty cool.

I would fully support that as the Bewilder Brew Bus, that thing is rad! Hell, I want it for myself!
