Chevy Cube Van, Total Junk!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I've got to get this van out of the way. It was in bad shape when it arrived many many years ago. I should just tow it, but it would be a lot more fun to drive it. If I can get it going, of course!

    Looks like a special purpose thing? Man I would have suggested unbolting the door on the driver's. Plus when it gave up on moving it looked in my thoughts like you'd lift the front with the digger and back the Oshkosh under it for a jack stand to drop the motor. I might have tried unbolting the calipers ? But during the first movements that left front did turn quite free for a brief quarter turn. I had hope for ya.
