Great kit. Back in the early '70s we used to take our motorcycles and dune buggys to the Colorado River and the Ford Quadra van was the vehicle of choice.

[@theswimshop4x4]

Thank you. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@steveroberts9053]

We have the “Gray Matter”, and they did an excellent job!, making it a 4 x 4 Van. We just loved watching your work before we bought the van. If you are considering having work done by the Swim Shop? Get ‘er done!!!

Any updates on a kit for a 71 G30……thanks..

[@theswimshop4x4]

We will not be offering any kits for vans older than 1984.

[@virgilbosworth9458]

Looking to do a 1980 1ton van. I have 3/4 square body done parts. Want close to stock height as possible

[@theswimshop4x4]

You can do it, but our kit will not work on a 1980.

[@todstrucks2919]

What a great product and set up. Would you ever consider making them for Dodge? I have a 1991 dodge B300.

[@theswimshop4x4]

I doubt we will be doing kits for Dodges. Sorry.

[@todstrucks2919]

@@theswimshop4x4 I thought that would be the case. Thanks for the quick reply.

[@bradleyyounger8499]

Im trying to find an older class c to put one of your kits in! Thought about it forever now im gonna pull the trigger lol

[@theswimshop4x4]

4x4 Class C would be awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@panzervan645]

That is amazing I wounder if this would fit a dodge b300 van with some modifications as gm and dodge look similar underneath.

[@theswimshop4x4]

This kit would not work on a Dodge, but we do plan on looking at the Dodge vans in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@swadewade82]

Can you give us a hint on the news coming up. Only asking because there is a 79 G20 I am interested in.

[@theswimshop4x4]

It is a personnel build we are doing. But we are getting ready to do a conversion on a 1976. We are gonna see if we can design a kit from that one. We will see. Thanks for watching.

[@dennisoakes1811]

Love the channel and have been following along with what you guys are doing. On the 67 van what did you end up using for a transfer case ?

[@theswimshop4x4]

Thank you for following. We used an NP 208. We hope to be finishing it up in the next week.

[@RevMook]

This is amazing... I've been thinking about this for probably two decades. What kinda front axle should I start looking for?

[@theswimshop4x4]

We use passenger side drop Chevrolet and GMC squarebody axles. But if the spring pad spacing is 31-32 inches it will work. Thanks for watching.

[@brownfox4995]

Can you use a bulldog 4 speed ? I am looking at trading up a g20. My 78 k10 got totaled but its got strong running gears 383 stroker with the old bull dog manual. Just didn't know considering the motor sets farther back in the van. If a manual was a possibility but i love a manual especially the old granny low 4 speeds. When i rolled my truck i didnt have a family now I do and i have been talking about building a 4x4 g van for a while. I was considering just swapping the van onto the truck frame but had a guy tell me you cant it wont fit 🤷‍♂️. The truck had low rebuilt miles on everything its just smooshed flater than a pancake.but i would say 5000 miles on everything max since going thru it and i have been trying to decide what i want to do with it and theres a lot of cool and practicality in the g van. I am in between a square body burb or a g van. But i think the g van is just cooler and turns more heads but the manual would probably be the deal breaker if i am tied to an auto in the g van.

[@theswimshop4x4]

We have never put a granny 4 spd in a van, but it can be done. I have seen one at van events with one. Thanks for watching.

[@jorgezuni2818]

Looking forward for Dodge tradesman kit .

[@theswimshop4x4]

Hope we will be able to do one, but it will be awhile. Thanks for watching.

[@kcinyourface]

Hi I have a 1987 G20 with a unitized body, will this be doable? I just want to lift my van but stay 2 wheel drive. Thanks

[@theswimshop4x4]

Thanks for watching. Sorry, do not know anything about lifting them 2wd.

[@diyjeff1838]

That's awesome!! So can you use newer engines? Say the 8.1?

[@theswimshop4x4]

Thank you! Yes, you should be able to adapt to the engine cradle. We have a customer doing a 5.3 right now. Thanks for watching.

[@FredColberg-jk5yp]

How's your kit compare to Boulder Offroads kit?

[@theswimshop4x4]

Honestly, we don’t know. Have never seen one of their kits. We would never comment on someone else’s work anyway. I would just say do your research and make your on conclusions. You are welcome to contact use and we will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks for watching.

[@FredColberg-jk5yp]

@theswimshop4x4 I've used their kit. Pretty good

[@theswimshop4x4]

Awesome!

Got a kit for 98-02 Chevy/gmc van? I have an 02 GMC Savana 3500 and can’t find anything for this body style

[@theswimshop4x4]

Sorry, we don’t have any for sale at this time. We do plan on some builds for sale in the future. Keep watching. Thanks.

[@Eric-fq5wx]

I just inherited a 76 vandura. Can this kit be made to work on that? What axle and transfer case do you recommend?

[@theswimshop4x4]

Sorry, they will only work on 1984-1995 G series vans. You can watch our videos on the 1976 build and they will explain why. Thanks for watching.

[@matthewbanuelos2296]

Would this kit work on a 92 gmc g2500 vandura?

[@theswimshop4x4]

Yes, it will. Thanks for watching.

[@vadrifter3200]

Great work! Love seeing people filling the holes in the manufacturing world. Just out of curiosity. Do you think your kit would work in a short bus? Not that I’m going to build one, just thinking it would be very cool in my opinion. Hope you and yours have a great and Happy Thanksgiving!

[@theswimshop4x4]

Thank you. Yes, if the bus is a 84-95 G Series Chevrolet or GMC.

Hi guys do u fab a kit for econolines?

[@onearmwillie]

I run a rather large van group on Facebook and have been vanning for a LONG time. I think the ass end of each of these vans are too low. The front end of each of these vans are taller than the rears. Looks like great quality but that may have been something that was overlooked

[@theswimshop4x4]

I will say the angle of those pictures do make them look low. But, we do build them just a slight bit lower in the rear. No Carolina squat by any means. I personally hate to see a 4x4 any higher at all in the rear. That's for Boogie Vans. Thanks for watching and nothing was overlooked.

[@harryfischer6741]

Your website link is dead. goes no where.

[@theswimshop4x4]

Should be fixed now. Thanks for letting us know and thanks for watching.

[@N4GUZZ]

Do you have kit for like 2000 Chevy Express 5.7 Vortec. There is 4x4 conversion for the newer express van but i didn't see anything for the pre 04. Just curious.

[@theswimshop4x4]

We only build kits for 1984-1995 Chevrolet and GMC.
