Is this the movie you refer to? Maybe?  THis blurb is from vanagon.com...


Chuck Norris' The Delta Force (1986) has a Vanagon at the airport while Chuck &
          co. are planning on raiding the plain to free the hostages. There's
another scene where
          Chuck and another guy end up in Lebanon in a priest's bread-loaf VW
bus with a big cross
          on it. It ends up being a chase / shoot-em-up scene which was totally
unreal. Bullets flying
          everywhere. He's shooting out the back window while being chased by
jeeps. Through the
          wonder of film, Chuck shoots straight while the bus bounces down
steps, over curbs, etc.
