This is my 1977 Dodge Tradesman, I bought it as a project/hauler. It came with a 440/727 and a Dana 60 rear. I don't know much about what engine work was done, but it does have an aftermarket cam, longtubes, and turbo mufflers. I think he said he had put in different heads, something to do with the coolant passages being more efficient. It has a table in the rear that folds flat into a bed, some cheap wood paneling, and some curtains that can cover the windshield.

I don't really drive this much, but it reached celebrity status when it was on the cover of the Sacramento Bee for an article on the PS3 lines. Also, PSM (playstation magazine) had a guy out there taking pictures, so it might be in one of their issues sometime soon.

As seen on the Sacramento Bee Cover.

3/07: After sitting for a few months, I decided to at least get the van running again anticipating my upcoming move. So I went and got a new battery, and replaced the negative cable since it was very badly frayed/cracked. Then I had to waste my time getting gas to the carb, only to have the fuel pump go out. Took care of it same day and now it runs absolutely fine.

4/07: I am painting the van black and yellow. I have partially stripped the interior in order to paint the jambs, and I will also be ordering a sliding soft-top to replace the broken out sunroof. I will probably paint or fabric over the interior panels, and maybe reupolster the seats ahead of my planned time.
Pics soon I am getting a new camera after my next paycheck.

12/07: Still no new digi cam, here are some cell phone pics of the new paint...

The interior is getting stripped right now, but it's doubling as a weatherproof workshop.
