Ø
So much van for this
price range. And
it's incredibly clean,
sharp and nice.
When you see, feel and
drive this one, it seems
much newer. I
would not hesitate to
drive it thousands of
miles. It's ready
to go anywhere.

Options and Equipment THE VAN: Began as a 3/4 ton with famously wonderful 5.7 (350) V8 engine and automatic with overdrive. In its original form it included comfort and convenience features such as: power windows, locks and mirrors; tilt wheel and cruise control; stereo system; etc. And then when new, it was converted by a desirable, significant conversion company by the name of "Glaval". Features described below... GOODIES: This Glaval conversion (nationally known, higher quality company) was very extensive and includes a long list of cosmetic and functional features and benefits, such as: front and rear ventilation; large windows with vents and shades; contoured, sturdy running boards and wheel flares; fancy bumpers and exterior trim; roof storage rack and designated stowage area; fancy blue and gold accent graphics; cozy front captains chairs have armrests and power drivers seat; fancy rear seat which folds to a bed, with power, and also includes an integrated extension in order to become a quite large "bed"; extensive wood interior trim; plush interior fabrics, carpet, walls, etc; much custom lighting; and more MOBILITY: In apx. 2001, this was developed into a wheelchair-access van. Here is the list of its mobility features: * Has an awesome heavy-duty Ricon lift that has the wonderful feature of having the platform automatically fold into two parts, thus allowing easy passage of able-bodied people in and out of the van when the lift is stowed. This lift was brand new in 2001. It remains in nearly new, original condition. It has clearly had VERY little use since new. This was due to the fact that most of the time since 2001 it has been in the possession of a family member who inherited it from the wheelchair-bound person whom it was converted for. This is also much of the reason this van has such low miles. * There is a brand new flooring system that is a feature I often have installed as part of my commitment going above and beyond rejuvenation...by actually enhancing a van, making it better than ever in certain ways. I love this upgrade because in the course of use it provides a lot of benefit for the person in wheelchair, and their families too. The main area of the van (the middle section) has solid wood underlayment, with a special-grade of commercial carpet over it. This carpet wears incredibly well, is super easy to clean, and is nearly as easy a a vinyl floor to move the wheelchair on. And yet it has the feel of carpet. This package creates a very smooth, firm and level area to maneuver the wheelchair on. This is a big improvement over the usual carpet with soft padding underneath, which is laid over a lumpy, bumpy, stamped-metal floor. This brand new floor package makes for a very secure, solid and comfortable surface. * Useful and nifty item: has a VERY special rear suspension system which includes: air shocks; on-board compressor; individually adjustable shocks; and has gauge and pump switch on dash, cool. This system exists because some wheelchair users like to have extra firmness on the wheelchair loading side of van. See the photo with caption of the gauge and switch. This system would be great to use if you want to tow a load. And it is perfect for its original intended purpose, which is to prevent the side of van from leaning when loading & unloading. * Includes 4 new pods to attach anchor straps to, ready to be installed in the location which best suits your needs, as specific desired locations for such anchors is unique to each wheelchair van user. Dimensions, capacity and specifications: Please feel free to email or call me with any such questions. I will gladly assist with anything you wish to know. I have discovered that due to the unique way each person evaluates, measures and expresses their needs, I can be most helpful regarding this subject if we communicate directly.
History of Ownership Has had a total of 3 owners since new. With the exception of the first few years in the Portland area, it has been in southern Oregon.

promised level of good, or Valuable Note: this van was incredibly well cared for by the people I bought it from. They had invested much toward its fine care in the prior few thousand miles.

Carfax Report
Summary Nothing notably negative or unusual: no frame damage...no airbags deployed...no structural damage...no "red marks"...no major accident.
You Might Like To Know... * Each of my vans has a superb paint sealant as the final step of the extreme detail. If you were to have a professional apply a treatment the cost would be several hundred dollars. * This classis style of 3/4 ton GMC (same as Chevy) is super solid and built for serious work. And the parts and labor are easy to get and very reasonably priced, when its time for any service or repairs. Summary of this Gem I often hear from folks who tell me they don't necessarily need a tall roof or lowered floor on a wheelchair van, they just need a solid van with nice miles and a quality lift. This van is all of that, and much more. It's gorgeous, capable and fancy...it has so many comfort, function and appearance features. |

3/4 ton vans
have various
benefits versus
the much more
common 1/2 ton
wheelchair vans.
Because,
features such as
brakes, cooling
system,
suspension,
axles,
transmission and
other items are
a bit
heavier-duty.
And yet there is
little
"tradeoff" or
compromise. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
These
switches in the
overhead console
operate the
various
accessory
features in rear
of van, such as
special
lighting,
audio/video,
etc. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
Has extra
gauges which are
nice to have (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
Super low
original miles,
ands it shows.
This van is
extremely sharp
and it looks,
feels and even
smells like a
much newer van. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
This gauge
and switches is
mounted by the
left knee area
and is for the
rear air
suspension.
Push the button
and the air pump
in rear of van
inflated the
shocks.
This is a super
feature that is
not only great
for its ability
to prevent the
van from leaning
when
loading/unloading,
but its also
awesome if you
want to tow a
load and desire
firmer rear
suspension. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
