by Not to change the subject, but I wouldn't put grey carpet in your "A". I'm a Carpet cleaner and I can tell you grey is the hardest to keep clean and keep looking nice.

Hey Benwah, if you want you can try and email me some pics of your A-100's and I can post then for you. I really dig your pickup, Cragars just always look so awesome on A-100's!

First off, that garage is fantastic! I'd love to stop by and visit someday as it looks to have all sorts of cool memorobilia.
So Nate, aside from bringing your van back from the dead, do have any ideas yet where you'll be going with it as far as color and mods? Great work so far.

There's something about an ex phone company van that's really cool....I think it's the working history of it. You know it's been used and some guy was driving it every day for a living. It's got that good Karma to it!

I plan on keep it as stock as possible. Gonna stick with the green paint and stock wheels. I found a set original hubcaps in excellent shape. The interior will be paneled with a bed in the back. I'm going with a phone theme so to speak.

I notice your rear doors seems to have slider stoppers pop riveted to them. I imagine these are not original, right? Are they from another van or homemade or what?

I played with my "A" a bit this summer and did the interior a bit in the rear. I will take a few pictures today and see if I can post them for you all to see. I just read about putting paneling and snap together wood in it and I think you will like this better.

Those were on it when I got it. I think the phone company did that so I'm gonna leave them.
