Thinking of getting a moto van, for those who have one, can you post pic's of the inside things your have done to better the van for moto? Any tricks or things I should know before begining my search for one?
I know I prolly need a 3/4 ton and one with side doors and not a slider... what else?

jeffro, let me know how that thing does in all aspects compared to your Ford van... I am not set in stone which van I will look at yet as I am in research mode!
also here in North Carolina if you have a van or truck that was made before 95 or 96, you don't have to get it inspected every year.
Pit Row
I am a little surprised at the fuel mileage of these vans. Seems like they would do a little better, especially the diesels.
Do you guys think the 1990's van does better then today's emission controlled stuff?

I know a few guys that post here witnessed it first hand. More than a few times I would walk up and ask" who are you ? who allowed you up there ?" ......More than a few times I heard " dude....it;'s all good....just checkin out the racing". That is fine until someone falls off. Not nearly so funny then.
If you do the platform, get a folding lockable ladder system. Don't make it easy to use.
Nice van BTW....
I believe its around 45K for the 3500 extended van.
We have a couple at my work and they are bad ass.
The bed is for the week long nationals and it just comes out for regular race days.i can also fit my 55 gallon water barrel and pressure washer in the van.The bed also is used as a storage shelf for long trips.
Seems to me like the starter is flexing and binding, I know some older ones had brackets on the rear of the starter for support but I can't find that these later GMC's should have one. I have another new starter here but I'm afraid to mess it up also.
The new Dodge Ram Promaster (see Avatar) have gotten my attention. They are FWD which makes the floor ultra low. Also they come in 3 lengths and two roof heights. Gas and diesel engines are available.
Very cool all the options suddenly available in the last few years.

A new smaller, midsize Mercedes (name escapes me) is due this year.
