Must be a pretty short van if it has the same wheelbase as a Corvette......

Some pics of both the van and Vette frame would help

 

Astro van??

 

65 Corvair? COOL! Now that frame swap makes some sense. Where there wasn't a frame at all, what the heck.

Opps, Sorry for all the mystery, this was kinda an afterthought {asking about the reattachment process}...the van is a 1st gen {65} Chevy G10. The vette frame was actually shortened 4.3" {?} to a 90" wheelbase, the vette frame w/the stock turbine wheels is w/I approx. 1" of the width of the stock track of the van. This van is a panel w/side doors {passenger} and back doors...and of course driver/passenger doors..I believe I can attach to the old jam/frame of the cargo doors {passenger/rear} but what about the drivers side....The front of the van has the pass/drivers door jams and the wheelwells so there's probably enough meat up that end for multiple attachment points..No pictures at this time {that actually show anything informative} but i'll take the camera down and get some this week...Once again, there will be no original floor left in the van {the vette engine will be moved back about 29" and the front vette suspension will pretty much wipe out everything except the wheelwells on the van......the vette IRS will stick thru the floor from approx. 6/8" ahead of the rear wheelwells to the rear doors...I can probably save some of the van floor 3/6" from the body inwards and the rear wheelwells will be extended inward}....
