G series van accessories (1980's to 1996)???
Hey all! I'm new to the Van forums, as in the next month I will be buying a G-series van. Currently looking at 80's to 96 G20 or G30 models. However, I'm starting to look into the aftermarket parts & accessories and am not finding much, apart from ebay and some low-key websites.
What I'm looking for is things like brush guards, bumpers, running boards, wings, hoods and other body mods.
Are there any go-to websites for G-series vans? Do chevy G-series share body part fitment with their truck counterparts that I should be aware of (brush guards & bumpers, etc)? Or is there really just a small aftermarket for them? (I know they're out of production, so what's left is literally what's left out there).
Thanks in advance!

There are two sites who offer some custom accessories for the G-vans.
Csutomvan.com is on the east coast, and
well, the west coast guys Van Accessories Direct seems to no longer have a website.
Most of the parts seem to be made to order - wheel flares, spoiler, the A-team style wing, visor, wiper cover, one piece rear door, fiberglass side door etc. I think one has a hood with a molded in scoop too. I just put some $10 eBay ABS scoops on my hood. Stick on, at that.
Brush guards you may be looking at used only.
Outside of that you can use a lot of the same pieces from RV and campers, or pirate conversions for what you want. I found a wide wing on eBay meant for pickups that was a lot cheaper than the Cal Custom style wing and would be an easy install.
Inside, you can make interior panels pretty easy, a big can of industrial rubber cement, some thin plywood (1/4 or 1/8) and regular headliner material does the job. Mine has a Home Depot carpet remnant inside on the floor and the bed riser, that outdoor type smooth carpet, cuts easy and I ran it about a foot up the side panels too.
