    Hi Guys,

    Been on here reading thought I'd share mine with you all. I bought it from the guy's son that bought it new. So I'm 3rd owner on 3-98. You guys seem to be on your toes on everything dealing with the old vans. I will try to upload photos. I use it as a work horse & is my daily driver thats what it was made for right?

    Well I've got to ask a couple of things now that you can see photos. I've seen other van that was campers but not done like mine is. I do have table that sits behind left side door, a cupboard with a metal drinking water cooler underneath with mouse hole for tap behind pass seat & a med cabnit behind drivers head. Will have to take photos of them when I dig them out of storage. Did some dealers outfit them with camping stuff since this does not look like the travel co. that did most. How good are the replacement sheetmetal that are around? Does anybody sell gas cable? I've been useing a bycycle shifter cable. Works good but not as thick & breaks every once in awhile. But just a 10 min. fix. That What I really like about this van. When it breaks I just lift cowlid & give the gas by hand till I get to a spot I can fix. You really couldn't do that with any other. Does anybody know where I can get the metal part at bottem of windows that mounts to window for step out? Hope everybody has good week. Thanks for the welcomes.

    Critter welcome to the site.

    When you post a pic, if you will re-size it to the 640, right above the host it button, it won't chop off the pic when posted.

    Hi All,

    Been a while since been on. Thanks for welcome. No it doesn't have a sink. But does have everything else. The beds would be good for kids or a little frame person. I'm 6'1 so I can't use them. Does anybody know of a rattle can paint that will match the tan or brown. I would like to find some so I can start fixing a spot here & there . I don't want to have primer patches on it. Hope everybody has a good weekend & to the ones that have served Thank You

    If you go to a parts store that sells automotive paint they may be able to mix the colors you need and put them into a rattle can. Napa is one that I've bought them from. Good luck, Joel

    If you can get a color code to go by you can get rattle can paint done up, I'm thinking I paid around 70 $ for 4 cans. It wasn't Napa brands tho ,, sometimes those get pricey.
