introducing

Hi there.

Here's a introduction of us. We are a couple of guys who imported a g2500 '69 from the States to Holland. We took it completely apart and rebuilding from scratch, a nice job but it takes a lot of time (ok we want to do it the right way). For now the finishline comes to our sight, for that reason it is becoming difficult sometimes with replacing and missing parts. Mostly we can fix it ourself.
Photo's will be posted.
We defenitly have some questions, the most important one for now are two things:
- we need a ventwindow for the passengerdoor;
- does anyone have pictures of the linkage from the powerglide to motor, we think we're missing some, so or we have to make ourself or uy it.

One of our problems that we encounter is that we live in Holland and for parts we have te order from the states.

What we need is the window itself including everything on it.

WELCOME! Happy hunting with your parts needs. There are some on the forum that locate parts for sale around the country & posts a link. So far, they have been very helpful to me in locating parts. GOOD LUCK!

Welcome to the site. Hope to see what it is you guys are fixing up. We do indeed love pictures.

This second picture shows how the Neutral Safety Switch, #5 in the second picture, hooked to the transmission. This keeps the engine from turning over when the transmission isn't in Neutral or Park. It also triggers the backup lights when the transmission is in reverse. This switch is almost impossible to find new.

Welcome! Does anyone know if the neutral safety switch posted in the parts section will work? If so, perhaps we can add it. I don't want to post it here and confuse the subject.

It amazes me how many early's are still in Europe, Thanks guy's for keeping these old girl alive there.

vent window assm. here in a junk yard is available -if u need??,[i]

Hi guys. Some issues with picasa but should be sorted now. See below link for all the different albums:

https://picasaweb.google.com/105056281371944634174?authkey=Gv1sRgCMHGz6-84LLRsgE

We'll try to keep adding pic's as we progress.

Regarding the gearbox linkage question we have, pic 4 in the 'gearbox Linkage' album explains (red circle), also visible on pic 2. Trawled through quite a few PDF's but still unclear about the purpose. Is this the downshift? Is this some safety feature which prevents going into drive when revving the engine?

[iHello & welcome - I will look @ my 67 today & ley u know about that linkage. Ive the same van V-8 & powerglide?? as u have -or is yours a TH350?? tranny?? Nice fotos & helps me as my van was bought apart. Ive just about done with the mechanical phase & will do paint & Glass / interior next year. Thanx for showing -Happy Vannin.

Welcome to the site! Great Van you have, looks like a great project. Look forward to its progression.

My wife and I hope to get over to The Netherlands here in a couple of years to soak up some great culture and beer!

I went back in the 90’s. the belgian beer is no joke! and I hear they have great cake their, it’s from outer space.
