Would it have an air cooled engine in the a$$?

It has three doors on the drivers side!

Hmmm sounds like an 8 door ,or a limo. haaa

Damg Rig! Testing my brain on this one.....

Wasn't it an old "DODGE RV?"
I seem to remember you saying something about one....
You said.. "Not a Dodge" Hmmmm

You didn't get another old FC170 Dump. Did you?

Moe got it! I'm trying to figure out when I can pick it up now. It's in Jackson, TN.

An 8-door Falcon? Cool! Only ever saw 8-door panels! It does look like it's air-cooled in the @$$ though

That's one fine looking diamond in the rough. Anyone know the history of the driver side doors?

Damn Rip, first the RV now an 8 door what are you only collecting the rariest of vans.I didn't know they even made an 8 door window. Got to be the only a few of those around ,any idea on the production number ? No wonder you keep it a secrect for two years Were did you find it , whats the history,if you know ? When you said posi and a 4 speed I thought you went in a altogether different direction. Good luck ,damn thats cool.

P.S. Does the fact that the missus is out of town shopping have anything to do with this happening today ?

Special ordered by US Gov. Standard Grey interior, custom ext color, 8-door window van, 170 cid, dagenham 4spd, 4.57:1 posi 9". All factory original. 1964 Heavy Duty 1T rated!

I will know more when I get it home.

The missus likes rare and ugly, like me!

Aaaa Eeee ! What'd I win,a chance to be on the recovery crew? Ha ! When you said 3 doors I was thinking its either 8 door or a crew-cab dually of some sort.
Rip,you musta had an inside scoop on this one.I don't remember seeing it on any ads I check.Thats same area WideLoads windder van came from.I might have to go scouting down there some time,it ain't far.
Glad for you,bud ! Whats next,COE with a single sleeper roll-back to go on van recovery? Haaaaaaa ! Enjoy.

Inside scoop for sure! Was with a friend Friday and he showed me a 64 window option Chevy Van just like mine that has been sitting for years! Looks buildable for sure!

BTW I am gathering parts for a COE roll-back, 46 Chevy COE on a 69 Dodge M300 chassis, will pickup the bed in a couple weeks or less. Winter project.

My friend in Jackson, TN has a 2nd gen Chevy Window van that is up for grabs. He also has 8 Econolines and an A100 PU!

Hey Rip...Off-Hand, what size bore did your MC have for your Disc/Disc conversion? The one with the power booster?
B.W.

Hey B.W., it was a Corvette low profile MC with a 1 1/8" bore.

Hope it's moving along ok and stopping when you're done!
