Chevy P32 Parcel Van
I have a 93 Chevy P3 Parcel van. It has a 5 speed OD manual trans. and a 4.56 rear. It is about 21'long, 10' tall, and 7 1/2'wide. The origional 6.2 diesel was replaced by a previous owner with a Cummins 3.9 BTA, 105hp unit. I've read NASA's report on modifying. In the future I will be inclosing the rear wheels, blocking part of the front grill, inclosing 3/4 of the under body, adding a front air dam, and a 30" Kamback.
The truck is currently used to transport stuff to craft shows 4-6 times a year. It averages 13.5 mpg at 55-60mph. Adding a 1000-2000# load makes little change in the mpg. Seems a perfect canidate for aero modding.
My other tranportation is a 03' Focus (29mpg) and a Yamaha TW200 (72mpg). But the van makes every drive interesting...
