Default Step Van question from a newbie

Hi all,

I currently own a 2002 Astro but am looking to buy a Chevy step van to convert. The specs on the step van (as listed on CL): 1977 310 Chevy 3500 step van. 350 V8, auto trans. with a new rear end, 135k miles.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the year, engine, etc? I looked but I didn't see a dedicated step van forum, does one exist? Thanks for any feedback.

Rick

Good call. I'm making plans to go check it out. Per the owner, the only issue is that it's kinda hard to start and the carburetor needs adjusted/rebuilt.
