okay, the van was a 1984 GMC Vandura.
more on what h_o_f said: no one ever got shot EVAR.
loved that show, that and knight rider were 2 of my all time fav. shows.

yeah it would be really cool to see a xb done up like the a-team.

YEAh yo thated be a cool idea,
I found this site with this info

WHAT ARE THE MAKES AND MODELS OF THE A-TEAM VAN AND FACE'S CORVETTE?
From Christopher Bender:
"The A-Team van, as mentioned in the credits, is made by GMC truck. That
model is simply called a "G-Series" van. They come in G-15 (half ton), G-25
(3/4 ton), and G-35 (one ton) configurations. Typically for a passenger use
van, such as B.A.'s, a G-15 is used. Since that body style was introduced
around 1974, and is still available today, it is difficult to judge the year
of the vehicle. I would suspect that the first van (Keep in mind that they
destroyed many vans during all of the stunts) was a new van when the show
first came on, so that would make it a 1983."

"Face's 'Vette is clearly a 1984. This is evidenced by it's color and wheel
style, and by the time at which it showed up in the series [first in the
episode "The Taxicab Wars," which aired on 11/01/83. Remember that car models
are dated a year ahead of when they are released - NP]. 1984 was the first
year for the current 'Vette body style. There was no 'Vette in 1983, and the
1982's and earlier were much different in appearance."

Also, Michele Lellouche informs us: "Face's vette was always rented from an
LA agency that had a sideline in movie cars (it was a regular rental agency--I
can't find the article where I had the name of it). The vette was white and
Cannell Productions applied the stripe every time it was used, so the red
stripe was not a permanent paint job."

License plates on BA's van: 2L83000 2E14859
License plate on Face's vette: IHJG851

(Note: These are just the licence plate numbers I've identified so far. There
were no doubt other numbers, and sometimes I think I spotted different #'s on
front and back plates of the van in the same episode!)

i got my information from here http://www.geocities.com/phogenstein/Van-Info.html, but i just looked around on other sites, and they all say it was a G-15.
http://fool.orcon.net.nz/ateam/gmcvan.html
http://members.tripod.com/~GMC_VAN/vaninfo.html
the first and third link say its a 1983, but the second link says its a 1984. so im confused.

I've never seen another show quite like the A-Team. In every episode there is an average of 5000 bullets fired, yet nobody is ever hit or killed. Talk about lousy shots! :?
