If I saw it I would be looking for a place to hide a small Canadian flag!! LOL
 
Steering wheel would have to go immediately!! Probably horrible on gas too! Not a big fan of the flames or the HOT ROD Power Tour logo etc on the side of it either.

I do like the van's paint scheme in front of it however!
Who doesn't love Old Glory?
 
If the van's a rockin.............
 
I'm pretty partial to the B vans myself, and seeing this makes me lament the passing on of Nellas van project!!

Tell your buddy I got a bunch of parts for B vans,'saved up for Nellas van but not used!! Cheep too, and some really nice items.'PM me for a list if you think he'd be interested!! Geof
 
One of my first times driving was in 84 in my dads 71 Shorty that my grandfather bought new. It had a 6 and a 3 on the tree manual. It was a cargo van and my grandmother was sitting in the back in a lawn chair. Well it turns out I was in 3rd not 1st and with some good revs and clutch slip I was able to get the van rolling into a corner fast enough to send my gramma toppling over in back. We abandoned that van up in the mountains of California but last time I looked I could still see it on Google earth. I kind of like them also. How cool would a modern mini-version be?
 
I had 2 Vans in the late 70s early 80s ,I was in a Van club called High Time Vans of So Cal, They were definatly some of the best times of my life. Lots of good memories .

I sold a steering wheel like that about 2months ago for $125.00.

The first ride I ever bought with my own money was a 68 A-100 shorty, it was an old C&P telephone van.
Put some paneling in, shag carpet, bed in the back, way too much fun in that old ride.

Wayyyy back when I was getting ready for my first car date, my dad was a nervous wreck and told me "He better treat you like a lady, he better have you home on time. ... And he better not show up in a van."

Ten minutes later the longest Dodge Tradesman panel I've ever seen pulled up in front of my house. "There better not be a bed in the back of that thing."

It's a very good thing Jerry Van Riper was a courteous and respectful young man who marched right across the living room to shake hands with my father and promise he'd have me home by 11:00 ... or chances are really good that I'd have been shipped off to a convent. :-D
