GarageScout Take
Midwest Vans’ SSX treatment gives this GMT800 Avalanche a distinct custom-truck configuration, combining factory Z71 hardware with conversion bodywork, illuminated running boards, and later-GM 22-inch wheels. The 2007 theft record, touch-up paint on the rear cladding, and title’s odometer exemption are part of its history.
Strengths
- Named Midwest Vans conversion provenance, with the builder identified as an Elkhart, Indiana company.
- Documentation includes manufacturer’s literature, a Carfax report, and a New York title.
- Recent brake service includes pads and rotors at both ends plus a right rear caliper.
- The Midgate provides a configurable connection between the cabin and cargo bed.
Watch For
- The Carfax report shows the truck was stolen in February 2007.
- The selling dealer notes touch-up paint on the rear cladding.
- The New York title’s odometer section is marked “Exempt: Vehicle over 10 years old.”
