They are 14's. A local wheel shop owner saw the van in the body shop. Asked about the van. Once he heard about the story, took of the wheels and tires off van and came back next day with my tires on the wheels. Wow! Tires were 90 percent new.

This is the kind of stuff that rekindles your faith in humanity. Great Van and an even Better Story to go with it! Lots of memories to be made in this one! Makes me smile just looking at it! Congrats!!!

Your van has come a long way in a short time. It's looking great. I've been wanting to paint an Econoline that blue for a while now. It's nice.

Ok, got the emblems all back on. Door handles are fun, that one screw closest to door edge a bugger.
So need some advice.
Got the van back, runs fine. All gauges dead except Alt, which is clocked hard right to the C.?. Advised battery was disconnected during some body/paint work, but reconnected.
Will be putting in the door seals all around. Got cargo and rear from Dennis Carpenter, driver and passenger from Tim Brogan. Have never removed and replaced door seals. Any tips or experiences that I should know about?
