Project Cheap Date, 1992 GMC G3500 4x4 camper/ bug out

After we got it home, the wife got the WA green slime washed off.
This weekend we pulled it in the shop, charged the battery and it started without hesitation. The wife and daughter-in-law cleaned out the interior and applied a few decals as well.
The brakes were dragging so the test drive didn't make it far. So it went up on the lift instead.
Parts are more in order to correct this mess along with stuff for maintenence catch up.

A few of the decals.
Looks like it cleaned up pretty nice. Is this like "stickers before lockers"? 
My wife has the small vinyl cutter so everything gets stickers when she claims it. Mechanical work takes a little longer and costs a bit more.Looks like it cleaned up pretty nice. Is this like "stickers before lockers"?
Today, installed the new front brakes. Of course, I had company for lunch. Tomorrow, finish up rear brakes and possibly pick up a newer set of tires.
So when's the solid front axle and t-case going in?
Nice work BTW.

After I get the shortbed back on the road. Short term I just want this road worthy so it doesn't deteriorate and my wife want to drive it.
One ton vans only got SF rear and the conversion company never used a D60 in this era. They did use a driver drop 32 spline NP205 though.
Yeah but whitman conversions has it now lol
MOST 1 ton vans only got semi float rears . i own 2 14ff 70" wms to wms rears from g30 vans .
So have you found one of these to pull the conversion parts from?

There's a power company 4x4 van in my area just like yours. Gets very few miles on it every year. My buddy says he's gonna buy it some day when they finally auction it! I think it has a ford dana 44 and ford 205 in it. Not sure why they didn't do GM.
I think 81 up used the SF. 80 down would have been FF since the SF wasn't around yet. But I'm not an expert on them.
Yes, a 1986 Chevy 4x4 G30. Looks like a pathfinder conversion.
Thanks but I'm not a fan of drilling holes in the roof.kool van man

you should go with an A-Team paint job
my 1 14ff come from a 1 owner 1995 g30 and the other was a junkyard pull out multi rib 88-newer housing from a g30 1998ish if i recall on the tag .
no biggy just there mostly SF rear on the vans . i am always looking when i spot a 8lug van .

My 92 is 8600 GVWR. Looking for rear brakes I did see there were larger GVWR options available for that year so that is likely where the FF came in then.
