Thanks everybody! This is exactly what I needed. Should I sand any rust down and put rust reformer over or will that interfere with the butyl tape?

Trying to replace the seal/molding on the high top on my van. I can't find any kind of seal that looks like it. It's an aluminum channel screwed on that goes through the high top and into the body sheet metal. I think it's necessary to keep the top on so I need to find a new rubber piece to go...

Well the bolts that held the bottom part rusted off the floor so maybe I could weld them to a new flat piece of sheet metal. Or would there be any other way to get a waterproof and strong seal on the sheet metal to the body without welding. With the grooves couldn't I fill them with something or...

I might call some places but now I have a problem of not having seats. Would putting in a flat piece of sheet metal work somehow?

Is there any way to fix it without having to cut it out of another van? In case I can't find one or they're rusted too. Also when I start cutting the metal with an angle grinder it blows sparks everywhere and I'm next to the engine and everything, should I be worried about anything catching on fire?

Just bought my first van, it's a 92 GMC Vandura 1500. Everything seemed good on it, new transmission, engine heads redone, suspension good, the guy told me there were only two little rust spots at the doghouse bolts and I saw them and they looked bad but were small. I got underneath it and...

Thanks, it's a 2001

I couldn't find much with the search function on this engine so I wanted to ask what the general consensus on them is. I'm looking at an e350 that has 200,000 with the 5.4, square body but it's not really a box truck more like a square van. They're asking 6,000 for it, which seems high to me...

I talked to a couple mechanics around me, one said they don't work on stuff that old, the guy he recommended me to said it would probably cost 4500 to put a new engine in it and he wouldn't be interested in messing with it. About it being the camshaft that's bad, that's just what they were told...

I'm around Kansas City, it's been on Facebook 2 or 3 days. We were planning on doing a trip around the country soon since we're selling our house. About the mpg, are newer, say 90s - 05 ish e350s/similar significantly better than those older generations (that one was an 86 I think) on fuel...

Thanks I can try to look out for those too.

Also I see a lot of people talking about prices increasing, and while checking a few van selling facebook pages they're asking crazy amounts like 30,000 for a van(no high top) with the inside refinished. Seeing things like that makes me think this van would be worth it and to just fix it up but...

Thanks for all the responses. I can do most of the repairs, I work on my own cars, but when it comes to the engine I don't feel very confident tearing it apart and would have to take it somewhere. Maybe I should keep looking or try to find a mechanic to ask about the cost of engine work. Because...

Hi this is my first post on here. I've been looking for a van and have been thinking about getting a Class B because of the loft space in the front. I found one but they're saying it will need engine repairs at some point. Here's the text from the ad.  1986 Dodge Ram 360 camper van. Class B...
