Saw that in your FB page, Jeff. I don't think the Astro is available new anymore.

But, what about my newest project- a 1998 Chevy Astro with all wheel drive. It's a little too small to cram a Westy interior into, but there is also (or was) a company that puts pop top roofs on Astro/Safari vans. I can't  vouch for their off road abilities, but I do know they are unstoppable in snow. There is also a company that sells lift kits for them as well.
