This Van Is Not Safe! Lets Fix It | Plus Answering Your 4X4 Van Questions

Making my van safer on the road with a new horn, while also retaining the factory horn. Creating simple switch operated alternating horns in my 1969 Chevy G10 4X4 Van. As well as answering some of your 4 wheel drive swap questions. Like what axle, suspension, and steering I used. Plus a sneak peak into future projects.

Really enjoy watching this van come together.

[@machinesinc]

Stay tuned, a lot more to come!

Thanks Jake. I like the idea of the plate bumper, bull bar and winch mount. Very cool van!

[@machinesinc]

No problem!

[@starksexpeditions121]

Love your van! Plate bumper all the way. Have you ever seen a Volvo C304? With your lift and look I think a high clearance old school winch bumper would fit the look.

[@machinesinc]

For sure, I was thinking old school ARB style.

[@starksexpeditions121]

I see you are someone who likes to make there own but I live in Arvada and have some of that type made for full size Broncos that might look really good on it. I tried to sell them and they are selling. Message me if you are interested.

@@starksexpeditions121 What is the width on those bumpers?

[@jeffreywoodward6975]

I like the side mirrors you chose. Would you tell me where you bought them and the specific make and model. Please let me know ASAP so I can legally drive.

[@machinesinc]

They are just Chevy Squarebody mirrors

Very cool ideas with the horns. I have an ‘86 Chevy g30 I’m working on getting restored currently. Did you fab your 4x4 conversion yourself and if so would you have any tips or advice?

[@machinesinc]

Nice! Yes I have done all the work on this van. The 4x4 conversion was not hard to setup. But still need to tweak steering and engine crossmember.
