Hi folks,
My name's Konstantine. Some folks call me Kon.
Glad to be here!
I've got a 1962 Grumman-Olson Kurbside aluminum body step van. I try and find as much info about these as I can given how little there is out there.
It was built from the factory on a 1962 Chevy P30 platform, with a 235 motor, 4-speed manual transmission, and an Eaton rear end.
I've been building, and working on bikes for a long time, but this is my first foray into getting elbows deep with a 4-wheeled vehicle (other than oil changes, tune ups, and swapping out the occasional radiator).
It's been running and driving since I got it about 4 years ago, but I basically had to redo most of what was already done given that the previous owner did a lot of sketchy stuff.
I'll likely be asking all sorts of questions and looking to learn as much as I can.
Thanks and looking forward to meeting good folks.
I've added a link to my
Instagram account for the Grumman. It's got pics and posts of some of the work I've done.
I've also got a YouTube channel called
KZ_Kon with a playlist dedicated to the Grumman, if anyone is interested.
