Seeking AWD Chevy Astro / GMC Safari


Nightpath

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of a project vehicle, one for overland, camping use and the like. One with room to spare. I've run the gamut and have come up with the idea of a GMC Safari or Chevy Astro with a bit of a lift, beefy tires and a bit more. Since they have a really good AWD and enough power to get around (and a v8 can be swapped in with ease) I think it's something I might want to build.

 

So if anyone sees a newer model AWD Chevy Astro / GMC Safari with reasonably low KM (sub 180k km) and not a rotted mess or beat drive train let me know.

I remember working on them at the dealership, they had a lot of transfer case problems, the coupler gave trouble of not ("slipping) properly and would bind during turns creating jerky drivability, premature wear of t-case chain ,Swapping in a regular selectable t-case might not be a bad idea.
