New to the Forum. Picked up a Travel Wagon!

Hi, Just wanted to introduce my self. I have been on the hunt for a decent van for a little bit. I've had a few old Vans and trucks before and felt a void. I scored a 65 Travel Wagon with a 240 auto combo.I'm excited as hell. Going to be hitting you folks up for a ton of advice.

Sweet Ride, im pretty new here my self. Looks like a solid van on the outside.

Sweet lookin ride DangerDiabolik!!!

And welcome to the site!!!!!

Very nice! Welcome! Do I see a tint treatment at the top of the windshield? My 65 Shambulance has the 240 / C4 automatic combo too... it's a great combo with lots of power! Very driveable! Congrats!

great score -there isnt many of these left. like to see some fotos of the top Up & the inside layout. Happy vannin

I would love to show the top up. But the hinges are stupid plastic on the sides.And tore with all the demos the first day! Hopefully my weekend will be lowes and a rivet gun. I used to have a 240ed van with a three on the tree. It was good. So much better then the small six. Mine is tired and crazy smokey. Going to get a 300 sooner then later.

Good looking Van!!!! Welcome to the site!!!! In case you didn't know you have some of the rarer trim on your van

Nice looking ride you have there. Definitely need some pics of the inside please and thanks..And last but not least..Welcome to the site. Looking forward to see what changes you make.

My plans are to just get it to good driver status. I love the way old paint looks buffed. It is all original paint besides one side door.So it will stay. Really want to get 2.5 inch drop axle and flip the rear axle. I like how the e vans have a foward rake and think it makes them pop when dropped. Been searching for pic of how much I should notch the frame. I'm still on the fence about what wheels. Put 62 plymouth caps on it to cover the white spokes for now. But it will get something old school and no bigger then 15. Probably slots till drop the front. Work through the tight wheel well problems before I actually spend money.

A travel wagon with falcon trim. Interesting...

Do you have the travel wagon log/emblem/trim piece on the outside of the front door or does it look like it was ever there?

Welcome fellow Twagen owner!

You can see the badge in the second picture. It is missing off the other door but the holes are there. It's gutted inside,so all I really get is a pop top that needs every hinge.

That top is manfactured by Travel Equip corp. there is a data tag on the actual top- in the front upper right side -above the pass side door . Ive got the same basic unit here on mine

if you need any pictures of anything, let me know. if you figure out a decent replacement for the plastic hinges, LET ME KNOW...mine still works but only working on about 1/2 of the hinges.

I'm just going to try to drum up some metal one from the hardware store.b I'll loose points at pebble beach but oh well.

Welcome.

Half of the above piccy is missing. Aint progress annoying...!!
