It was pulled off a van in working order. I actually don't have it yet, but it is in the mail. Somebody pulled it off the van to put a truck turbo on. Why? I have no idea, it just seems that I got lucky.

Until it is in your hands, you don't know what the shaft play is.

That's very true, however, I plan on rebuilding it before it goes into the truck, that way I shouldn't have too many worries. By rebuild I mean new bushings and an ATS intake housing and making sure everything is good.

Just got more expensive, the van turbo won't be a direct bolt on even with the exhaust adapter. Different spider and pedestal.
I would pick it up anyway, buy more if there are more vans there.
Edit: You may be able to upgrade to late 99 by using the vans pedistal and spider.
See what they want for the whole shebang, let me know I would love to upgrade if I could find the parts cheap.

Vans dont have spiders in the same sense we do. A van has no IC so the turbo blows through an A frame directly into the plenums.
