Duramax passenger van - very rare! I have only seen one once, don't remember where, and I am always on the lookout fo those. Where was it advertised?

Sarchione Auto Sales located in Alliance, OH. I have been looking for about 4 years. I find them from time to time. Usually in Washington State or Wyoming. Those often have the Quigley 4x4 set up which rules but also adds about 13K to the price. I did not want a new vehicle anyway. I was hoping to find one around 60,000 miles or less. They (Sarchione) actually had three of them this summer. Mine, a 2014 short wheel base dark blue Duramax with 20,000 miles and a 2016 15 passenger bright red with 7,000 miles again with the Duramax. The other two had the slider door. I wanted the barn doors. They purchased them at auction oddly enough near where I live in Michigan. I believe they were GM factory mules. Sarchione are not big on dealing and the fact I was willing to travel 4 1/2 hours one way to buy it did not help my leverage. However, just before signing the agreement we discovered the remote start did not work. They agreed to pay for it and let who ever work on it when I get home since it damn near was closing time on a Friday and the mechanics did not have time to check it out. They kept their word and covered the replacement of the Body Control Module. I guess all I could ask for.

Thank you! I haven't really got on it. When I bought it, I had about 4 1/2 hours on the road coming home. Three hours was on the turnpike. Ran 75 mph with about 19MPG accordingly the on board computer. I have a 2007 G3500 company truck. Cut-away dually with a 10 foot long walk in service body. It weighs about 11,000 pounds and boogies very nicely with the Duramax. I usually get around 13-14MPG in the summer and 10-12MPG during the winter. I just turned 200,000 miles on it. It's been super. Only had a idler pulley go bad and a couple of relays on the transmission. I also don't have the DEF system on it like my new one.

Default 1978 Chevy ? Van

Recently got this '78 Chevy Van but don't know much about it. Can anyone identify which of the G series it is? I was looking at Chevy Nomads on google that seemed quite similar but don't know anything for sure.
Enjoy!

Ill take a guess and say that is a G20 van. Your title or door jamb sitckers should say exactly.

Nice conversion clean and the body looks straight as an arrow. F.Y.I this site is my favorite by far but I also check out a site called vanning )Vannin ' ~ Showvans, Custom Vans and Vanning Event Information).
Vanning.com members have a LOT of heavily customized and conversion vans so a lot of information for owners like yourself, anyway best of luck and Happy Holidays.
