Newbie here

Post by G-Force Fri Apr 02, 2010 3:39 pm

Howdy guys, new member here with a Van Load of questions. I will conduct searches so not to junk up the Forum. But I am going to go ahead and apologize for the obvious questions that I KNOW that I will be asking. Thanks for your patience!

First off, I'm in South East Texas.....Are there any other members here?

Second. I just got my first Van, a 67 Chevy. SWB, I think a 90". It has windows on the passenger side and a panel on the driver side. Any insight on this?

I has a straight 6 and 3 on the tree. Would this most likely be a 292 I-6?

How tough are the parts? It looks like a might need a psgr rear door and some bumpers.

I will be posting pictures tomorrow of my new beauty.

Well, at least she's a beauty to me.

Thanks!-John

your van is what is called a display van. They were work vans used by places like Sears , Coke, and Ma Bell to name a few.

As for parts somethings are harder to find than others. Welcome to the site
