    I went and checked out a pick-a-part about half an hour from my house, I was told they had a couple of old vans out there.

    Here's what I found,

    A100s first..

    Yeah I know, this first one isn't an early, but early enough. Besides, the back side windows are kinda cool.

    It just sounded better then Junk Yard, which is what we normally call them around here. It's really several acres of cars with a few homes buried in the trees, the guys live and work there.

    Only two G vans..

    But I'm partial to them, so I took lots of pictures.

    The Doghouses look decent, I really didn't look close, but from what I saw it's light rust and small pitting in both vans.

    Strange to see an vertical radiator in a 2nd Gen. van, but that's what the braces look like in this one.

    I was looking for different transmission hangers but didn't find it on either of these, the floor looks pretty good though.

    I was looking at the Dodge pictures after I posted them and wondered if I saw the same mirror. It's cut off in the picture, but there's enough there.

    Here's the Google Map link, take a look and you will see how everything is just kind of tossed out there.
