    Figured I'd post up some pics of my $600 chevy van.









    I had to install a new stereo. Its what I had laying around.


    Swivel chairs!





    Full size bed!

    Anywho, I'm thinking about doing an A-team replica, starting with the wheels and removal of the running boards. It shouldn't be too tough to locate a set of the fiberglass running boards and flares either. THen perhaps roll on some black paint with some red vinyl stripes.

    Any thoughts?

    Got any puppies or free candy?
    Lately I have been testing "tip-in events". Just the tip-in. Just to see how it feels. Response time is typically on the order of 2-3 seconds. Sometimes the injection timing is a little off...

    Heck yeah!

    Too bad you don't have the roof conversion .. the B&W TV and the airplane running lights were always the coolest part when I was a kid.

    Haha, still remember those wooden cupholders as well in the front.

    You have to fill those trays in the wood center console with dirty pennies. And get a really dirty insulated plastic oversized coffee mug thingy for the cupholder. Spill some of the coffee on the pennies so they stick together. Then it will be just like the one my uncle used to drive.

    Agreed. When I was a kid we'd take my grandparents van, almost identical to OP's van, and road trip from Ohio to Arkansas to visit my other grandmother. It was a lot of fun to ride around in.

    id leave it as is, but try to scrounge together an airbag setup with manual switches.

    would look fantastic with all of those old school stripes and whatnot... but super low

    Holy crap, my mom had one of those. It was a 93 Chevy G20 Mark VII (or maybe Mark VIII) conversion. It had a color TV, a VCR in the cabinet on the left side, and we added our Nintendo in the cabinet on the right.

    There was some fun had in that van. Mostly legal, always immoral...

    These things are coming out of the wood work.

    2 friends bought similar vintage, striped and windowed conversion vans this spring.

    One a little less clean than yours not running for $250, and the other cleaner than yours and running
    well in trade for a months rent.

    The running one has already been on several 500 mile road trips, he loves it.

    Not sure you are going to make any money, but there is fun to be had.

    The cost of the van makes up for it's fuel mileage.

    Seriously though, I drove one from Arizona to Maine...comfy as all getout. Fuel was $1.39 a gallon back then.

    Cool van!

    Don't run a black light thru it because it probably won't be as cool after what you find! Hehe
    I really wish everyone would update their location in their profile!
