Stored 30 years in a barn. Only 59,000 miles. Runs Great! Ask Questions. Rear main seal leaks oil, Parking brake cables are frozen and so no parking brake, stiff steering due to king pin grease zerks do not want to accept grease. The grease in the king pins must have hardened. I have seen this before on king pins on an old pick-up truck that had sat and were not greased. I just used a torch to heat the king pins and soften up the old grease so it would flow again. The king pins on the van do take grease, it is just very hard to get the grease in there. I had to squeeze very hard on my grease gun. I just want any potential owner to know that the van does steer down the road straight but it steers stiff.
