Here are some more information for Chevy Astro Safari:
Vans can be used for different purposes. Contractors use them to carry equipment; they are a great mode of transport while moving houses; they are often taken out by people for recreational activities, etc. Ladder racks can make all these activities a lot easier, by increasing the storage space available in a van.
A ladder rack for Chevy Astro or/ GMC Safari minivan is available with flat or arched cross supports. The bowed cross support version is prefect for loading and unloading the ladders; it can be upgraded with the side access or lock down upgrades. The flat cross support version is ideal for carrying several ladders, plywood, or other cargo. These racks come with 4 3/4"" wide cross supports, which are constructed with zinc-plated steel and covered with a sturdy polyester-epoxy white powder coat finish for greater rust protection. Racks bolt through the roof with reinforcement brackets that, along with the van's roof braces, offer better support. Both racks fit GMC Safari and Chevy Astro minivans.
Heavy-duty steel ladder racks are available with either two or three cross supports, and can handle loads up to 800 pounds, including scaffolding or piping. Three cross-support models are ideal for holding less stable cargo that has a propensity to sag. The installation is drill-free, making it simple to remove the rack or transfer it to a different vehicle if necessary. The ladder racks are constructed of 14-gauge structural steel tubing, which gives extra durability and strength. Each of the 1 1/2"" square cross support is set deep into the steel uprights. The additional wide mounting base and clamp guarantees utmost support and stability, without having to drill holes in the vehicle top. The tie-down ring on each cross support is adjustable, and firmly secures the cargo. For superior protection and durability, the racks come with a thick powder coat finish. It may be essential to cut cross supports on the vans having contour roof designs.

Does Size Matter When it Comes to Custom Rims and Tires?
Yes it does. However, before one delves further into the subject, one has to understand tire codes. Altering a vehicle’s tire sizes, unlike customizing truck floor mats, dashboard covers, and car seat covers, is not something to be taken lightly.
Unfortunately, a lot of people can’t make heads or tails out of the codes labeled on their tires and therefore do not know what “P225/50R16 91S” means. Tire codes are very important if one intends to change his or her vehicles tires. Unlike changing <a href="http://www.seatcoversunlimited.com/Seat-Covers-p-1-c-248.html">truck floor mats</a>, changing tires without knowledge of what one is doing could bring about adverse affects. Here’s a breakdown of the sample tire codes:
• The “P” means the tire is meant for passenger vehicles like mini vans cars, small trucks, and SUVs.
• The “225” is the measurement of the widest point of the tire’s outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner sidewall when installed.
• The “50” is the percent of the sidewall height relative to the width. (In this example, since the width is 225 millimeters, the sidewall height from the rim to the tread is 112.5mm)
• The “R” denotes how the internal construction of the tire was fabricated. In this example, “R” means radial.
• The “16” is the size of the rim.
• The “91S” is the service description of the tires. The “91” is the number that rates how much load the tires can handle. (The “91” in this example means that the tire can handle 1356 pounds.) The bigger the number, the greater the tire’s capacity.
• The “S” is the tire’s speed rating. (An “S” speed rating denotes that the tire can operate safely at speeds up to 112 miles per hour. The further down the alphabet, the higher the velocities that are safe for the tire.)
So what does this all mean? Typically, a car that’s made for speed will have a wider width with a low alphabet letter (generally W, Y, or Z) and a low percentage of sidewall for optimal handling and steering capabilities. A passenger vehicle, meanwhile, will have a medium width and a higher percentage of sidewall for a more luxurious style.
Tinkering with tires without knowledge about tire sizes is a dangerous thing to do. Here are some of the reasons:
• Odometers and speedometers are calibrated based on the height of a vehicle’s tires. Taller tires make speedometers read slower than the actual speed of the vehicle.
• More recent vehicles have built-in computers that base calculations on the height of a vehicle’s tires. Changing tires could result to a vehicle’s components malfunctioning.
• Stock suspension systems could suffer additional stress with taller tires, resulting in accelerated wear, tear, and/or failure. If one makes substantial changes in tire height, one should upgrade and bolster the vehicle’s stock suspension.
Below is a list of different tire sizes and what <a href="http://www.seatcoversunlimited.com/Dash-Covers-p-1-c-249.html">vehicle classes</a> should use them.
• 34" x 8" – Class “A” Motorhome
• 31-1/4" x 12" - Class “C” Motorhome
• 30 3/4" x 10" – Isuzu Rodeo, Honda Passport
• 29-3/4" x 8" – Blazer II 4X4, Jeep Wagoneer
• 30" x 10" – Jeep Liberty

• 35" x 12 -1/2" - Hummer H2

• 24" x 8" - Pop-up Campers
• 21 1/2" x 8" - Pop-up Campers

Is there any GM truck that has a front-end similar to the Chevy Astro/GMC Safari?
I'm looking at getting a grille guard for my 97' Chevy Astro van, and, since there doesn't appear to be anyone who sells guards specifically for the astro, I was wondering if the van's front end was similar to any truck models. I had heard that the Astro/Safari was built somewhat based off of a truck design, and I was wondering if this was true.
The astro is by itself size and shapewise. You may get an s 10 gaurd to work, but it will need some fabricating, and will be narrower than astro nose.
