  • We’re flattered whenever we see any kind of influence in builds, based on some of the things we’ve done. But a Chevy squarebody van build inspired by the Burnyard, WITH spares in the back for burnouts!? Man… that’s just the best thing ever. The Squarebody Syndicate does things right.

      Actually watched this on my " good " monitor. I need t do that every time I see Larry Chen's name. Because between the lovely job the fellow did, and such crisp, clear pictures and video, a ratty old work van is super cool. And for me, the burnout part is the least important. Really nice work there. Very tasteful.
      * Main monitor is 3440 x 1440 10 bit colour and worth 5 times what my 1080p 8 but colour monitor is. Really makes a huge difference on videos where the photography quality is high. See part about Larry Chen. How dafuq do you get running video inside a damn VAN with it looking all nicely lit? Every vehicle interior pic I ever took had a car or truck shaped object with a black hole in the middle. :)

      Hi. I put a 5.3 lm7 with the th350 transmission. Yes I used the fuel injection from the lm7 and put in new fuels lines, fuel pump, sending unit, gas tank. I used spectra sp1115 for the fuel pump and bought the tank,sending unit, for a 93 van being that it had fuel injection. If you want more info leave your email.

    Excellent build! In 1973-76 I was living in Michigan and insulating these vans with poly-urethane foam.
    Stuff shoots and mixes at the nozzle at temperature then adheres to anything permanently, increasing strength, and removing oil can effect.
    Works great on roofs! I had a mushroom of snow on top of my '74 shorty and 90+ degrees inside.
    Did underside and wheel wells of a '73 Toyota Landcruiser, quieted it down, and prevented rust for years.
    For your rig
    I would recommend doing the inside of the roof 1.5-2", painting a fireproof coating on it, then covering it with a headliner.
