Hi all... first post here. I see quite a few familiar names from the Chevy groups.
I've owned a 1984 B250 Dodge van for years now, and it's been off the road for the last few. Although it's *highly* unfeasible to do so, I've decided to start the process of getting it back on the road, as it holds much sentimental value, and I just enjoyed driving it a lot.
Before any real work can happen I need to find out a few things, and my first question refers to which tranny it has. I've heard there are long and short versions of the 727, but I don't know which I have. The Van is a standard-length van. By "standard", I mean it's not a shorty, and it's not one of those with the extra long rear end hanging off the back...just your average sized utility van.
I'd also like to know which rear axle it has. It's been a good one. After a few engine and tranny swaps from back when my Dad drove (and didn't properly maintain it) that rear axle has roughly 485,000 miles on it. I'm not kidding.
I'm looking forward to digging it out of the weeds at my ex-wife's place and getting it running well enough to drive out of there under its own power. I need to get to where I could meet a car-hauling buddy of mine for the long trip back to Atlanta, as it's currently way out in the back woods of Alabama.
Thanks all,
