- Technically speaking the van did get a fair chance at being rehomed. Turns out the new owner only wanting its organs! 😬 But if you pay full price in cash you can do whatever you want with it ! And as part of the deal we are removing the drivetrain for him. So here we go ! Check it out one last time before disassembly! Thanks for watching !
Can anyone tell me why my videos are stuck at 360p for quality ? The last two videos turned out that way. I film them in 1080hd or 4K and upload them over very good WiFi . I checked over my phone and TH-cam settings but still have no luck ?
Mines in 1080p jay? P.s add me back on snapchat please svensnap18
Jay Smart how much for both front fender marker lights with pig tails off the suburban?
When you upload it youtube checks and reviews the video for any copyright or anything so until it’s finished being looked at they will then allow it to have the 1080p. Usually takes a couple of hours or a day.
If you checked the video right after it was uploaded, that is why. It take a little while for the video to be fully processed.
It usually takes a few hours and up to a day to fully process the video you uploaded, so check tomorrow and it should be in 1080p. Love your videos dude! Watching from Manila in the Philippines, the land of Toyota Corollas 😎
I remember seeing these Vans all over the place back in the day Good stuff man👍
there all gone
I Still Have My 1990 Chevrolet G20 , 5.3L V-8 ---
Mark lll Conversion Van .
12-11-2021. Los Angeles Calif. Everything except the Air Cond. Works. Has Been a Daily Driver to Work, but I wanted to Slow That Down...and Preserve it More.... Gangstas tried to Steal it a Year and a Half Ago.... But I had My Kill Switch Activated...!! They Walked Off Empty Handed ,
Even after Punching the Steering Column / Ignition area...Damaging it...So I bought a " Rebuilt Steering Column " to switch it Out.
Left a Bad Taste in my mouth.... BillinL.A. 12/11/21. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.... I GOT MY GIFT.
Did the guy see the condition of that van before he made the decision to tear it apart,why not just buy a used 350 lol,poor van
I wonder what he's going to put it in.
He did buy a used 350. It just came with a rusted van.
Poor van it still had a lot to give😢 shouldn't have been gutted I don't get ppl
It's good to know that Chevy Vans 10,20,30 Sport and Bonaventure merged into one: the current Express line. The 90's are back with this great model,Jay Smart
My friend had a windowless g20 converted van in high school. We used to skip class and hide in it to eat crackers and toke. We nicknamed that van the 'hot box'
Miss those days..
Glad this one was saved. These things are memory generators!
Did you watch the video? Saved.... more like a organ donor!
Another cool truck that must be saved.
Perfect for tailgating. NASCAR infield party wagon. I love the old T.B.I systems, simple and reliable.
Why didn’t he take the whole van! $1200 for an 89k van is a steal!
I found a maroon 199(4?) Dodge Dakota extended cab with 89,000 miles for $1000.
Rusted and unibody are not a good combo. The G20 already has a weak "frame" without rust, they were just a 1/2 ton with a 3/4 ton badge slapped on.
Why anybody would pay $1200+ labor for a TBI 350 and 2wd 700r4 is beyond me.
Whoever bought that van got a sweet deal on that van
Love those old G-20 Vans. Have owned a few.
nice to see it being sold and not sitting to rot or is in the line up ready to be scrapped or parted out,
I have a 93 chevy G20 with 97,000 miles on her
I found 94 g20 high top explorer conversion with only 57,200 miles
if a zombie outbreak ever occurs, I would be driving a van like this
But I would drivean ambulance van with HAZ MAT markings all over it................................it will be left alone...................
Cool a square body lending some battery juice to another square body! (And that awesome sound of two Chevy 350s burbling away)
would have made a nice vehicle for someone in a wheelchair who cant afford much for transportation or someone who helps move people in wheelchairs
I would try to sell the wheelchair lift .
good point those things are expensive to buy and install.
WELCOME ABOARD, JAY SMART!
WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU WITH US!
THIS VAN WOULD'VE BEEN THE PERFECT STONER MOBILE FOR ME AND MY HOMIES!!! NEXT TIME YOU HAVE A MINT VAN LIKE THIS FOR SALE HIT ME UP!!!!
I have this same van but mine is in super nice condition never been wrecked no rust & not a single dent it’s super straight & the interior looks brand new mines a 1991 with the 5.7l I love the look of these old vans, it’s a highway cruiser it pulls super hard on the highway top end & it will roast the tires lol
The guy who bought this is the same type of guy that would wind up on To Catch a Predator
Hahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well that's sad to see, I love these vans.
A ton of one or two year only parts in them, I would save the column, cluster, and rear doors if nothing else off the carcass. It took me a year up here to find another column that would work in an '88 and I have yet to install it.
I wish I lived near there, I'd grab that van even without the drivetrain/etc haha
kinda senseless to hack up a good van like that when alot more SBC's are available
Very awesome I like when you drive the vehicle's this van rocks I remember this van Chevy made some sold cars and truck
RIP G20.. I love the old school Vans 70s and 80s Id love to one day own or build a 4x4 full size van with lockers🖤
If you'd known about 'Disabled American Vets.com',it woulda been bought whole.for one.
BryDuhBikeGuy I had no idea, thanks for sharing ! I’ll keep that in mind next time
Man ruined a somewhat perfect van just for a engine and trans that can be found in a van or truck that cant be used cause its been wrecked or completely rusted
Given the pretty severe rust this one appears to have then parting it out is probably the best option. If someone bought that to do up it would probably turn into one of those "I'll get round to it one day" deals that never gets done and then ends up getting dragged back into the yard and weighed in when everything is far too far gone to do anything with. At least this way your customer gets a decent drive train and other customers can pick over the carcass for what they need to keep other going. And you might be able to get your missing table top and replacement steering wheel too so it's a win all round...

I could use so much outta that van for my G10😮
The rear doors. Up here they always rot. I have two you can't open.
Who would buy a 1990 Chevy van, just to take the drive train and transmission out of it?
That's sad. 😥😪😓
Bubba with his big pick up truck.
it is
Poor van and if it could talk I'm sure it's not to happy right now lol,😆...
That’s a cool van, too bad the buyer is going to break it! One can only hope he changes his mind and keeps it as is
Here in norway there`s lots og Chevy G20 and G30 vans, but they are mostly 6.2 diesels. actually the diesel vans gets not that terrible fuel millage. first hand experience :)
Wow what a shame/low-key waste in parting her out, guess it's better to have a customer than to lose one lol
But yeah, stuff like the grille, the 4 cup holder wooden table, and especially the gauge cluster are worth saving for other Chevys.
It had low mileage but it looked pretty rusty on those lower rocker panels
@Vivian Stimpson Who says the rust stops there could have frame rot floor pans could be rusty chassis mounts on the body could be rusted out.At the end of the day Is a 1500 dollar van worth putting 5k worth of metal work in? not counting paint work and interior That van in mint condition is worth 2500
YOU'RE WELCOME!
That Van gets 9 miles to the gallon on a good day so anyone saying its a shame to see it go has never owned one.
Great deal for you. Hey, it’s hot out, just drop in another drive train and that will make a great ice cream van. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
I see a side hustle in the makings here!
Thanks Jay.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Great video Jay wood have made a nice vehicle to be put back on the road or a nice camper
I'd use SONE of the parts to put on an old squarebody. It would be really cool, in fact, I would call it the luxur-body truck.
I was reading the odometer when the refector covered it and I was lke
289....
089,000 miles! What!

That guy ain’t right. You don’t destroy a perfectly good traveling vehicle. Especially with miles like that. If i had bought its going on a road trip. 😊😎🤯
I love the older vanduras like this one
nice, looking chevy van. thank, you for you're video. Random vanners. east coast of virginia. 2%
I would've bought that whole van. 89k and it sounds like a beast
That's a damn shame that was a nice van but I can tell you one thing I've driven a few of those old days before and they are a nightmare to keep on the road because the tires are literally underneath of you
When you shut the van off my heart stopped. i am sad now.
I'll take that factory radio if it's not too late already.
My parents had a blue normal top MKIII version of this van when I was a kid, same engine and all. Its really weird to hear this one running cuz it sounds just like when I was a kid lmao.
I Still have My 1990 G20 , Mark. lll --- Blue & White, Daily Driver....in Los Angeles. I Love it, And Won't get Rid of It...!! Everything Works except for the Air Cond. BillinL.A. 12/11/21.
Happy Holidays... I got My Gift....Already...
Well money made either way, good deal!!!
Its a gem
Love the old chevy vans
Get the torch out and drop the motor and trans buy buy van
I be laughing if he blew a rod everytime he revs it up high..lol
that won't happen easily.
@@RicardoPCGamer Not that hard to spin a bearing
So would I guys a moron , it is never good to rev out cars it is what morons do
@@mudmowerregulators9559 if the engine was ready to break. I know people who beat the crap out of their cars and they are still driving them 2 or more years later. I know bearing materials are soft, but this van has less than 100k miles. So it not going to blow anytime soon.
I have three extra 350 carberated engines and driveline... trade in FL lol? Hate to see a good vehicle lose its guts. Wish you guys were closer to me!
Lol yes thank you. Ugh I love these vans
Damn, i need some of those parts.
You know those wheelchair lives are Mega expensive you should make sure you hang on to it and sell it
Oh my gawd, I love you!!!
That's too funny...I would have just taken the whole thing and keeped it for awhile, then if someone needed one with wheel chair left and can't afford a brand new van I'd probably just give it to them under the terms they'd takecare of it. But I guess if all he wanted was the drive train and met your price...its like what are you gonna do but give him what he wants. Great video along with all your other's!
That motor usually good for about 300 thousand miles
Amigo... MERECES UN CIELO PARA TÍ SOLO!
My father used to have the 1988 GMC model.. once he had a race with a BMW M3 and he won the race with the GMC hahaha those where amazing times
MauriceSaraber No he didn't win that "race"
Yeah that's a real shame but at least it will give another vehicle some life
Even with no drive train i bet you could sell the rest of the van to someone who wants it.
Lots of good parts to save another.
Well since that van is is being scrapped, that's one less older van that will be down the street from me with some dude living in it.
Yeah that’s cool van I want some parts
jay going full sale with this one!
3:57 You should have told the buyer who only wanted the driverrain to take a hike!
it sounds grate
Very good
I LOVE THAT VAN!!!!
What a shame. Beautiful van.
I see a PA inspection tag on the windshield. Quite a ways from where you are at.
Explains the rust
Would have love that van
Jay, put the van in your 'secret' stash of cars in the area behind the building that you kept the Buick Skylark and the white 1991 Honda Civic sedan in. You put the really good condition maroon 9th Gen Ford F150 there, so why can't you do that with this van.
My friend kevin the chili man use to have one of those vans same year he drove the heck out of his until he sold it and bought him a 09 silverado 4x4 ext cab
The wheels and tires for your suburban
Would have made a great camper as well.
You can buy a brand new GM crate engine in JEGGS for 1500 with a 3 year GM warrantee, its a huge pain in the ass to pull the engines in these things you have to take the grill all apart and take the radiator support out to slide it out the front
Exactly, what I was thinking. I never liked pulling a engine out of a van. Maybe he needs the transmission.
You should put another drive train in it and sell the van...again. :-)
Those things last forever
I recently bought a 1980 Chevy van G20. The air didn't work but it drove great. I bought the compressor, condenser, and evaporator. I'm just missing the lines that connect it all. I believe its called an a/c suction line assembly hose. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN ORDER ONE FROM?
Try Rockauto.com
The wheelchair lift is not cheap and can be removed and re-installed into another van.
Am I the only one who thought there's a lotta cleaner vans than this one, and would personally side with the guy buying the drivetrain. These are common and unwanted in better shape.
Cool Van 😀
That is a shame. Nice van. Whatever melts their butter, I suppose.
As an 89 G20 owner this makes me sad.
Why was that scrapped in the first place ?
When you rev it, it sounds like gun shots
My brother had a van like that
Hey those Goodyear sra's are great tires
And for the wheels
its a damn shame but like you said nothin you can do cant save em all. oh well
well, look at it this way: if you get a truck or van with a konked out body but a good drivetrain, you could put it in this van and sell it again.
Awww sad too see it get its heart cut out and cut up for scrap , it is what it is
Could always find a donor engine an trans and resell it again... but that is a hassle to go through.
Save that steering wheel. If not I need it lol
