Vehicle Description
2001 Chevy one ton with super passenger and wheelchair-carrying capability. Exceptional seating AND wheelchair carrying capacity: will carry as many as 9 belted passengers PLUS two wheelchairs Prior to being converted into a wheelchair van, this began as a moderate trim level model, with HD 5.7 (350 c.i.) liter motor and HD automatic with overdrive. This trim level and drivetrain combo is fairly common on a standard length passenger van, but is rare on an extended body model. Some of the items on the long list of features this van has are: power windows, locks and mirrors; intermittent wipers; tilt wheel and cruise control; stereo with 4 speakers; high back captains chairs in front with armrests; factory GM alloy wheels; upgraded interior and exterior trim features for better appearance, comfort and function; factory tow package; 2 side windows and both rear doors have vents; gauge package; upgraded headlights and misc lighting; miscellaneous convenience and comfort features; etc. New hitch, wiring and brake controller (apx. $750); custom tinted windows; CD stereo with accessory port.
* Braun lift with split-folding platform: made by the world's largest manufacturer and innovator of lifts, this is a super lift. It's rated at 600 pounds and has a platform large enough for most users and their wheelchairs. The split platform allows for easy passage of able-bodied folks in and out when lift is stowed. This is a SUPER feature that is rarely found on extended length/greater-capacity vans. It has controls on the lift and on a cord/cable.
Anchor locations: installed in this van are 4 new steel anchor pods. These are located in the 4 far corners of the mid-floor area, which creates maximum choices as to where a wheelchair is parked/secured. More anchor pods could be added, in various choices of locations, if you want to often carry more than one wheelchair
NEW FLOOR IS A SUPER ENHANCEMENT: Although most folks tend to think of a floor in a van as being flat and solid from the factory, it is actually far from it, and that results in a terrible surface to move a wheelchair van on. You see, under the factory carpet in a stock van, there is a thick carpet pad and under that is, to one degree or another, a lumpy, bumpy, uneven metal floor surface. And in the case of most vans that are turned into a wheelchair van, there are also remnants from seats being removed, such as holes, tracks, mounting plates, etc. All of what I describe here results in a surface that is not nice to maneuver a wheelchair on. And there are misc unpleasant elements to live with. The diameter of wheels on most wheelchairs helps to overcome these facts, but the usual floors are far from. In the area that the chair/s will be moving, a specialist removed whatever materials were above the metal floor surface and then they installed quality plywood over the metal, to create a smooth, solid, level surface. (plus the floor becomes quieter). Then an awesome, tough, easy-to-clean, rubber-like material was put over the wood for cosmetic benefit. Once you have maneuvered a wheelchair on a floor like this, you would never want anything less.
