van was wayyyy late arriving after he ordered it.
when it came in, I was looking it over,and mentioned seeing a really big piece of masking tape in the inner door jamb......
further research revealed the van fell off the railcar, landed in a ditch, and was "lost" for a week, before being diverted to a body shop for some major work.
virtually the whole left side had to be repaired and repainted.... the dealership he bought it from got pictures of the van as it was found in the ditch, and after it was towed to a body shop.
a quicker fix than building a new 3/4 ton van.
needless to say,thats the last vehicle he purchased from Chevrolet.
