I also have a 1990 GMC Vandura upfitted by Explorer. My dad bought it new in 1990 when I was still in HS. I lost my dad last summer and inherited the van. It has 270,000 miles and the TBI 5.7L is getting pretty tired but the van is in great shape but could use a lower control arm bushings and a paint job due to the typical paint delamination that plagued so many vehicles of the late 80’s and early 90’s.
I also bought a damn near identical wrecked low mileage 1990 G-van a few years ago for parts.
Here is the story on that and what I did with the goodies pirated from the van.
Here is my dad’s van that I inherited. This picture was taken a few years ago when I still had the other wrecked van. They look almost like twins.
