This all-aluminum (including wheels) Metro van started out with Portland General Electric as a PCB recovery vehicle, with two 500 gallon tanks; one for extraction, one for replacement. The mileage is correct; 39k original. It didn't travel out of the Portland metro area, and was not used frequently. All the equipment has been removed; now the van weighs 6,000lbs. GVW is 26,000, so it's got the carrying capacity for just about anything you load it with: PGE had the suspension beefed up and the rear end is the heaviest available by special order. I have an original PGE registration paper that verifies this, or at least gives you a starting point for research. The interior behind the driver's compartment measures 15' deep by 6'-9" tall by 7'-2" wide, adding up to 686 cu. ft. ... all on a 158" wheel base. Great bike hauler, food truck, builders's mobile shop/storage. I just replaced the entire exhaust system with dual exhaust up to and including the manifolds. The gas tank has been hot-tank cleaned, sealed, sand-blasted and painted. All new lines, electric fuel pump and re-built Holley carb. New breaker-less ignition/distributor, new alternator and starter. Pan removed, sand blasted, straightened and painted, replaced with new gasket. (goes without saying). All new wiring to new clearance/marker lights. Wired with 7-pin tow receptacle, ready for 10k receiver hitch. 4-speed transmission with 2-speed rear-end. Truck's kinda slow, but unstoppable.195 rims; it's gonna need tires.
