1992 Chevy G20 Conversion

After traveling the country once in a Honda CR-V we decided to turn our 1992 Chevy G20 into a conversion van home and go back out on the road. To be honest the van was beautiful pre conversion, but now it is a more functional and comfortable weekender.
We insulated the walls and ceiling with hemp wool. We also used cork for the floors and cedar planks for the walls. The ceiling is painters canvas wrapped around the original panels.
Shouts out to Boy Lord for the beats.

[@angelacofer2743]

Dude you guys did an amazing job!!! My hubs just got himself almost the same van, just a 1990. Cant wait to show him everything you guys did!

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Awesome make sure to show us!

[@DavidAndre657]

WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU WITH US!

[@mommadw2010]

great work, I really wish I could have been there to see more. I am trying to build out on my own, not an easy task. I like the outcome

[@jackmeyers40]

I love "personal" van build videos . There are to many companies that have jumped on the bandwagon. Your name intrigued me and thanks for sharing.

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Thank you! We had a blast building and exploring the past year and a half! 🤟

[@aaronroberts7084]

Impressed, nicely done guys, great fit out 🤙

Love the '70s-'80s Chevy vans.

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Same- I just love me a good van tbh!

[@momsberettas9576]

That interior was is great condition, shame to waste it. But a cool build none the less

[@Hunt_or_Die]

I agree... why destroy a perfect custom to make this?

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Because we can.

[@mtw56or]

Great job, Working on my 1994 GMC 2500 van

Enjoy it! What a great thing to be doing.

Yo keep it up 👍🏻 I’m on the search for a G 20 myself just happened to stumble upon your vid

[@hellyeacollective3717]

It’s an awesome ride :)

[@DavidAndre657]

AND NOW! IT'S TIME TO REBUILD THE 1992 CHEVROLET G20 CONVERSION VAN.

Love the chicken!!! ❣🐔 sweetie pie!! She wanted to go with you. :)

She lives on a beautiful farm now!

[@masterm123]

nice

[@shravaka6241]

Aquired my 1992 last October... Removed the back seats and bench seats as well and now contemplating the build out. The two things of concern is weight (hence; wood adds up fast) and aerodynamics for efficient gas milage. This intuitive guidance is now being validate with the recent $5+/gal. (and who knows for how long?). What is your current MPG?

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Whoah , Velour Ahoy

[@chryslervoyagerclub4873]

Super!!!

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Thanks!

[@73satanico]

Muy chula

[@uber2tuber]

Question please.... how did you attach the plywood to the foam under it? thanks so much. Gonna put plywood on my floor (over the carpet, and wondering how to attach it. :)

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Hi! we actually didn't "attach it" just cut the outline relatively snug and then cut and attached the cork flooring.

I have a 92 G20 as well and I am curious how you framed out your windows. I was trying to see in the video. Is there anyway you could give me some pointers? Much appreciated

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Sick! What a beauty you have then. We treated it just like you would a house.

[@joelvera6973]

What did you guys do with those seats that y’all took out ?

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Let my buddy have them

[@shonda___]

Ohio here 🙋🏼‍♀️. What insulation did u use ?

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Good ol’ Ohio.. hemp wool from hempitecture. I would use it again too..

really cool van! I love the feel of it and my friend wants to sell his, but the fuel consumption would crumble the little money i have i fear! Do you recommend it as a only car?

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Sorry never saw this..I do not reccomend as a daily driver.. when I moved into a house. Driving to work became very expensive.

[@bigmattburris8887]

How did you get the middle captain chairs out

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Angle grinder through the bolts holding them to the frame.. was definitely one of the trickiest parts.

[@toucheyosef6554]

If you still have all the carpet and stuff you took out of the van would you be willing to sale them? Especially the carpet

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Hello! We have parted ways with the left over carpet! Thanks for reaching out !

[@toucheyosef6554]

@@hellyeacollective3717 ok thanks anyway and great veido

[@nickc.5886]

Any known issues with this type of van?

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Mine had been in the family since the 90s. It currently only has 80k miles. For me, nothing yet.

[@estincaptures]

van tour??

[@hellyeacollective3717]

NYC to Seattle. Back to NYC. Back to NorCal. Moved to SoCal.

[@petertothRC-FPV]

hellyea nice work👍Chevy to get out of Dodge

[@robertoaleman3727]

Excelente vivo en Mexico y tengo una pregunta cuánto tiempo la camperizaron si g20 yo tengo una.

[@Hunt_or_Die]

I have seen a lot of van builds... but why? Why did you tear apart a perfectly fine custom van for that? A stripped down work van would have been just as good and easier because you wouldn't have had to gutted it. It's like ripping a Corvette apart to get a bigger trunk when there are Camaros all around.

[@user-zw7gl9lz1w]

За всю жизнь не накопишь на такое авто

[@-M-power]

Mpg 4 😅😅😅😅 you've added so much weight to the van. 😅😅

[@hellyeacollective3717]

Update: someone stole the van from my parking garage, and totaled it. 😔

[@___David___Savian]

No nice colors in American interior conversions. Just blandness with the desire to look like a homeless person.

[@socalcraigster]

I’d just leave that time capsule alone. Pity.

[@hellyeacollective3717]

No1 cares Craig.

[@KaedeIshimora]

Agreed! I understand it is their right to do so. But taking a Unique conversion van that was still in pretty good condition apart like that hurts my soul.. Me and my wife bought one recently (94') With plans of doing the same as them. But once we saw how clean it was, we couldn't bring ourselves to do it. So instead we are keeping it clean and upgrading it with things which do not require any destructive installations that cannot be reversed. I will be posting a video soon of our interior. 🐺
