I've seen this on YouTube. It's crazy! Great to see Dodge getting the love!

This speaks to me.  GRM needs a Spec Van series, rules package putting all on equal footing, and allowing for mods.

I wonder what kind of spring rates they use in the front?

The rear looks like it could benefit from some better shocks to deal with the wheel hop?

Fun fact... the Dodge 150 vans are unibody. 250s and higher got a full frame. 
Fordiban, and Chebbiban are all full frame.

100% false. GM vans were BoF beginning to end. We had a few.
