The Astro replaced the short bed 110″ wheelbase G-Van I have. The 4.3 liter will tow 5,000 lbs. I think when people look in their owners manual these days they’ll see 1,200 lbs towing cap. I have seen plenty of 4.3s with 250k miles. Its the 350 cube V-8 with two front cylinders removed. My Chevy has a 305 V-8. I don’t care about 12 mpg. I’m used to that since I was entry level in 1962. Why should I lower my “standard” and save gas? Because “they” shame me and want me to?
They had rear anti-sway bars. A custom louver behind the windows. A different color striping. A nice looking van. Rare because not many were made and of them very few survived.
