Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce the newest and largest member of the Moveable Type team... a 1982 Chevy step van!

Plans are in the works for a sweet paint job and interior remodel.

More updates to come.

      It would be awesome if you could work those stripes into your paint job. They look like letterpress printed rules.

      Engine? Diesel or gas? Duals on the rear? Looks like some serious wheels. Good brakes &, especially, suspension? You're hauling a lot of oddly distributed weight. Sorry to sound like yr. dad. I'm certain that you're more tech. competent than I am. Just an old truck driver's fret. Check the whole front end, too! Again...thanks for the poster. Be careful--Jerry M.

      That is awesome! Looks like it's in great condition. Hope it runs as well as it looks! What kind of engine (gas/diesel)?
