True ..
it's a 'diesel high top'...
and the really yummy thing an 83 diesel should have is a 5 speed
transmission.

if it has that, and no rust .....
this is a super fine project van.
The trans alone  isn't quite worth 2K...but it's worth a significant portion
of $ 2K...
it's a good buy for someone.

and it's not an Adventurewagon of course.
