1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

my Tacoma is/will/hopefully powered by a safari van! Lol

 

I have a couple sizes in my truck…

 

Thanks


I'm a major small time company, I maybe sell a dozen of these units a year. I cam afford to still do almost everything by hand lol

 

I wasn't even that cool. I literally made a 4x4 out of 2x4s and bolted it to the frame horns

 

yeah, well, that mentality is rapidly being suffocated by the YouTube generation of fuckers that think they are gonna wake up and make a million dollars doing and learning nothing. So, cheers to that!

 

Wait... I thought you were LSing it?!

Don't get me wrong, I love the 4.3 Chevy to a fault but it's no 350

 

my 6.0 LS is from a safari van. It’s def from a van. Whatever gmc or Chevy 2500 Van they have. Idk shit about American cars. Lol.

 

Fuck....

I know I'll never make 1mil for take home money ever .. I just wanna be big enough I have employees to run the shop for me while so i can take a vacation

he fucked up! Shoulda thought more about a nice beach chair setup and a proper cooler full of beer!

 

Okay, that makes more sense. Chevy definitely made small differences between the van V8 and other V8s of the same displacement. But the Astro and GMC safari (specifically) never came with anything larger than a 4.3 Vortex

Biggest Chevy I ever had was the 5.3 vortex

 

Scout master Kevin?

 

yeah, idk. I was told it was from a van. I thought safari but can’t remember. It’s an lq4. I know that for sure.

 

I've seen that guy on reddit.


100% if I had abandoned rail tracks by me I would do that

 

I haven't cared about Chevy motors since I tried 5.3 swapping my 97 V6 lol

I don't even know what lq4 means

 

When I got my DL, my grandparents "gifted" me a 1980 Chevy G series "kidnapper" special. It was part ambulance and, uhh something terrible. No side or rear windows, no seats beyond driver/ passenger and fully padded. Paint scheme was all white with huge red, orange and yellow disco stripes down the sides.

I remember not wanting it cause ewwww. I really miss that van. It went up and down trails it shouldn't have been on and up and down in parking spots it shouldn't have been in.

 

everyone should have their very own rape van to start out with in life.

 

Was I a short wheel base G series? Those were the shit.


I've always been a Ford guy predominantly, but when it comes to vans..... sometimes Chevy just takes the cake! Honestly, I miss the removable dog house most of all. Nothing like being completely protected from the weather while adjusting timing and changing out cap and rotor

 

Definitely BS. 2nd and 3rd Gens I'm pretty sure are the same but they are a little wider than a 1st gen control arm.
I've got a set off my last 2nd gen sitting in the spare parts bin still

 

Idk if anyone is a fear and loathing fan but got some cool stuff like 2 years ago and finally hung it.
