Hrm....talked about 'work vans' in a previous post, but here is my thoughts. When we first started, we were Chevy people... first van was a 79 Chev 1/2 ton, then we added a 87 Chev G-10, then a 90 G-20. Those vans were very durable and bullet proof. When it came time to replace these things, we (and many of the other tradespeople I talked to) weren't too happy with the new generation GM full sizes.
My beefs with the current generation GM vans......I could swear the sheetmetal is very thin on these vans. The bumpers are wimpy too...ever notice how easily they are dinged??
Anyways, starting in 97 we switched to the Ford E-series, and currently have the following in our fleet..
still running 87 Chev full size, 97 E-150, 2001 E-150, 2001 E-250 and coming soon.. 2003 E-250.
The Ford vans, so far have been very good and seem much more solid than the current GM vans.
p.s. See how ugly the new 2003 GM vans are these days? They destroyed that front end.
Bye for now.
Sandro.
