......whoa....no....well...i wouldnt be surprised about the newer 98+ etc but even the old ones? Well,they'd be hard to find at a salvage yard. The yard down here has at least a dozen astro vans. Gawd man what have i been missing???

FWIW, all the Astro guys that have fiberglass rear leafs (it's a monoleaf, by the way), do a swap to steels. They tend to crack.

Taking weight off the rear section of the vehicle serves to lower traction. If you could find something to take weight off the front to even out the distribution, that would be better.

Dude this truck is half naked. ive also stripped the rear bench seat for more room for my tools,the carpet in the rear replaced with bed liner,and I even removed my tailgate glass during the summer so that my 10ft fishing rods can fit in there since i fish every week and i dont have to worry about rain since its parked under a shed.
