Yes I know the pictures are sideways, just turn your head. Its MY 1989 Econoline 4x4. He even gave me the winch.
Its going for a safety next week, and its a 3/4ton. Built by a company called Quigley in the states for Bell Canada.

This looks like the kind of van I'd use in GTA to rob a bank/gas station/anything.

Lol that's even better than I thought it'd be. Now all you need is a sweet mural:

It's beautiful. *wipes away a tear*

Its a 3/4 ton van with a very early EFI 302. It does not go anywhere fast. But it will always get there.

Indeed. My dad hates the paint, so tbat might actually happen. He used to have a scalloped Dodge Tradesman back in the day.

Your old man sounds cool as hell! Got any plans for the Bruiser?

Ohh yes. New paint, bit o rust work. New tires, a tad bigger. Rock sliders probably tube. New mount for the winch, it slots into reciever hitches on the front and back.
Also, see if we can get a 351W for it, and keep it passing emissions. And then to go along with that, the small block C6 in the drive way.

Dude, now I really want a sweet van. You better keep us updated so I can live vicariously through you, that all sounds so badass.

You think i will be able yo keep this off oppo? Yoy will be sick of me going on aboit this thing soon. Ill have to record my mothers reaction when i tell her i bought it.
Did I mention she disapproved of me buying the SHO? Yeah. Might get disowned.

Even if she does kick you out, at least you'll have a van to live in.

Thats a winner, whats the plan for it...use wise? I mean, cool for cool sakes or do you have offroad plans?

What about this one? ^
![]() 12/06/2014 at 22:38 |

Both. I plan on mudding it a bit eventually, and showing it. Its got the grunt to be a descent tow vehicle, and once my mother kicks me out for buying it, i can live in it!

Looooool that's amazing. You better keep that.
![]() 12/06/2014 at 22:42 |

I think it works. The Bruiser will probably not see mud as often as it really should. But it will see some.
