Howdy to all my fellow VAN lovers!
I've always liked the looks of these "shorty" (110" Wheelbase) vans.
I started looking for something to make Lumber yard, Nursery and Home Depot runs after we bought a 2nd fixer home last year. I was really very surprised to find out how hard it was to find these Vans in almost any kind
of condition. Maybe I'm alone on this but I was surprised that they weren't more popular. I remember them were all over the place in the 1970-80's.
I found this 1995 (the last year of production) van for cheap on Craigslist and scooped it up. I had been looking for an early 1970's model but no luck. The good news for me is that as a "driver" safety and comfort it has disc brakes, ABS, Air Bag, Fuel injection and cold A/C. I've spent the last year trying get everything upgraded or repaired. I like everything to work and drive like new..juts a few things left to do over time.
Here are links to two short videos of the van with sound from the new Hooker Aero Chamber muffler.
