Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Gordon, Vans with handicapped conversions are real hard to find, but the attached site may be what you are looking for: http://www.accessvehicles.com/ Take a look and see for yourself. Have a great weekend. Norton Van conversion A friend of mine whose wife had a major stroke and is totally incapacitated asked me if I could help him with information on a van conversion for a manual wheel chair. Since I only converted my van for a scooter I could not help him. I would appreciate any information you can give me on this.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Gordon I bought my van from a lady whose husband had a stroke, and 6 months later poor soul passed away. It had a lift in it, and when I first looked at she still had his chair, but it was to small form and I had already ordered my own chair, that's why we were looking for a van. There are so many different type's of vans out there, you really have to do your homework. My van is a 95 Chevrolet Gladiator (I named her Gladi) high rise conversion (with a tv) LOL! The lift is Ricon. Once we bought the van, I had other things done to it such as: Automatic Remote to raise and lower the lift. Tie Downs (for the chair) 6 Way power seat - which allows me to drive on my own. The also have nice and expensive mini-vans, but I was told they are not a durable as the big van as I own. These min-vans are wonderful, and for somebody who had a stroke, either van should be compatible. Glad is beautiful, now we had her painted and new stripe's, no more rust. I will keep her forever, she is part of the family. Good luck! It''s a big decision as to what kind of a van to buy, and of course the $$$$ is a factor, they can be very costly, with all the things you can add to them. Rita Till next time!
