Happy to say that I found a '69 G10 panel, with the help of the posted craigslist (texarkana) ads posted here. Thanks, I've been looking for a couple years off and on. I had a '65 flat window panel in the '70's/'80's for 10 years. Lots of stories with that one. I'm considering doing a 4WD conversion on this van, anyone that's done one, please share some tips. Right now I need to find a gas tank as this van doesn't have one. Are any new ones available?

Thanks Jeff, I've been lurking for a couple years looking for a van. Really wanted another flat window but couldn't find one with a decent body. The van that I found is from W. Texas is practically rust free, but for some reason one of the previous owners removed the gas tank. Help! :-)

Welcome to the site!!!! How about some pictures when you get a chance

thanks donivan65, and G-man. G-man, it's the 69 maroon 90" panel in Texarkana craigslist, that you listed here. A west Texas truck with virtually no rust. It's a 3 on the tree 6cyl, that supposedly runs very well. I think I'll put and OD auto trans in it, paint it and drive it for awhile, while I'm gathering info on a 4WD conversion. The original color is that green teal. Has anyone repainted that color? How does it look? I have a '70 Olds (hence my screen name lol) 442 convertible, that I did a frame off resto on. It's "Aegean Aqua" kinda similar paint color. --> https://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2029958&id=1243391707

Olds the man to talk to here on 4x4's is Vanish, Bills a great guy and I'm happy to help with any questions you may have. Don't have a Facebook account so can't see anything

didn't realize the link didn't work without an FB account. But now that I think about it, I got suckered into signing up to see a friends pics lol. Damnit
Was able to load an avatar shot of the 442.

Welcome Olds.When you mentioned Texarkana,I remembered it.Post up some pics when ya can.That 442 looks good.A bud of mine had a '74(?) Olds.I split my head more than once with that long 'tooth' attached to the hood workin on it.

The transporter hasn't even picked it up yet, it's still in Arkansas. That Olds was most likely a '70 (same as mine) with the "tooth" hanging down. It's a killer lol.

Welcome aboard. For such a small group this may be the best such "club" I've joined. Maybe it's so good because it is so small. Also, I rarely see people flame each other about stupid stuff that seems so common on the more common boards. Happy motoring!

Welcome OLDS! We do try to be like family here.

I have a gas tank out of a 1st gen that will work if you want it.I am in Sarasota so it should only take 45 min. to get here from St.Pete.let me know if you want it

PM sent, thanks Jay
