    Astro for $400... deal or trap?

    Astro for $400... deal or trap?

    The lowest i've seen for a decent astro with no known transmission problems or that inst scrap is $1300. Anything below $800 is normally from 1990 with over 200,000 miles on it or 'use for parts'.

    Bed Platform – Diorama Concept

    Good input. Thanks all! Per some questions above: it would be a standard Astro/Safari passenger van. The reason im arranging it this way where the fold up blocks off the back is I like to look out the window or stare out open doors. The way I have it there would be exactly 1 inch gap between...

    Bed Platform – Diorama Concept

    In a nutshell I want to do A but I always see B... I'm wondering if it's just a 'it's what fit' issue or if there is a reason to do the wood slats in a certain direction due to comfort or structural issues...   My plan is as follows:  Either way I should have a good amount of...
