Eastbaydiver sends us “Vanimal” - his 1978 Chevrolet 1-ton Pathfinder Conversion Van - featuring a 21” lift, four wheel disk brakes, and a 730HP 427 small block V8.  Pathfinder 4x4s are a rare, vintage four-wheel drive conversion built by the Pathfinder Equipment Company in Southern California - converting standard two-wheel-drive Chevrolet and GMC vans into rugged 4x4s from the mid-1970s until they went out of business in the early 1990s.  These vans are highly sought after by vintage van (vanning) enthusiasts and collectors as solid foundations for expedition campers.
