JJ, my man, I am not a Flatlander, so, I would NEVER run an auto van.  That
said, if the van is righteous, the price is right, buy it and apply the funds
for the rebuilt auto to a stick shift conversion.  There are enough junkers
out there that you should be able to find all the necessary hardware with a
single stop at a wrecking yard and, if needed, a rebuild for a 2WD X-axle is
not too pricey.


That is my opinion and you know what opinions are like.
