    GM express vans

    I just purchased a 2006 Chevy Express 1500 with the 4.3l engine. Weight wise, the van has a 4'X8' sheet of plywood as a floor and the left side of the van lined with 3 wood shelves, so not a lot of weight.

    Hi Ya'll from Sunny Florida

    Not sure how I found this forum, but boy am I glad I did. I spent most of my life moving around different places, just not around the states. Mostly in Florida and the islands, from the Bahamas to as far south as Columbia. Mostly due to working on the water as a boat captain, mate, salvage...

    hello

    I can't speak for those in Texas but if they don't accept you there, come to Florida.&nbsp; Most of those living in Miami are either from Cuba or from New York.&nbsp; <img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">&nbsp; Most anywhere else in Florida, you have a hefty...
