Very rare 1982 GMC Vandura 3500 (1-Ton) cargo van with a professional 4x4 conversion by Wheel Drive Engineering out of Salt Lake City — similar to Quigley vans. Powered by the 5.7L V8 with automatic transmission, heavy-duty 1-ton chassis, 4.09 gearing, and WARN locking hubs. Runs and drives well.

This is the long wheelbase cargo version with rear barn doors and factory heavy-duty drivetrain — an excellent platform for an overland build, camper conversion, or vintage adventure van. Let your imagination run wild.
Features include:
- 5.7L V8 engine
- Automatic transmission
- 1-ton Vandura 3500 chassis
- Professional 4x4 conversion
- WARN manual locking hubs
- 12 Bolt Rear end
- 4.09 rear axle gearing
- Dana 60 front axle
- 33-gallon fuel tank
- Rear barn doors with glass
- Long wheelbase cargo van
Interior is clean and original. Large cargo area ready for a camper build or expedition setup. Body has rust typical of early GM vans (see photos), but the undercarriage and structure are very solid, making this a great candidate for restoration or an adventure build. These early 4x4 conversion vans are getting very collectible and rarely come up for sale.
