    The only ones i have seen so far have had internal hinges. But the hinges look like a proper Heath Robinson bodge job to me. Access looked ok, as long as you don't mind the awful hinges on the inside of the door.

    Blaino, my two cents: You have a sweet, original van. Why screw that thing up by altering it? It looks killer just as it sits, unlowered and with sweet, original chrome bumpers. A lot of people would love to have a stock van.

    Finding a stock one unmolested is very hard to do. That was the seller, Josh's, biggest talking point when I was looking. Unless that things been screwed with in a way he neglected to mention, why buy an original van and mess with it?

    Just my opinion as a purist (when possible), but in my opinion, that's taking a van backwards since it's so original.
