Just wondering if there's a Newer van You Would Own ???

i really like my '64 but if i had to pick a newer van, it would be a '65 or '66.

Bill,If you are talking about something newer /more current
NO but I drive a 66 so a second gen or early 3rd gen shorty
would be my only other choice . Bill

Absolutely would love to have a 73 Chevy shorty , have forever thought they were the best looking 3rd gen . Black w 350/350 , no rear/side windows , N50-15's and of course 4 into 1 side pipes . And lastly 2 original Super Scoops in dark smoke in the rear ( no astro vents !! )

Space Truckin While given the choice no 3rd gen could ever replace my 66 panel I think you just made me cry! Bill

Don't get me wrong I LOVE our earlies , Vanish asked if there was a newer Van we would own , I have always Loved 3rd gen Chevys can you say creature features a.c, power steering , power brakes etc.etc the list goes on .And by the way I could have put a dagger in yourand said 3rd gen Ford . LOL

dont forget about the dodge caravan.

In addition to the earlys I own, I also have a 74, 86, 87, 89 and a 2002! I drove the 02 tonight. The 89 is also a runner, the others are mobile storage sheds!
The '02 is going towards the Japanese-style Dajiban. Lowered and fat wheels/tires.
That's the 02 and 89 along with the 108 before paint and decals.

Thanks Vanish!
I've posted that pic before, but it always seems to get noticed.
Dajiban style

yes, ive seen it before too. 4 different vans, all in white, nice collection.

i've owned a 73. 77. 89. and a 97 dodge and enjoyed them all. if i would buy a newer 1 now it would be factory air,

We owned a 1986 Chevy Choo Choo custom van. It rode like a Cadillac!!!

could not have said it better!!

Yes - likely a 1970?? Thats late enough-i have an 82chev for years =likely in a year will use parts from that on my 2nd gen for mods.

I miss my Eurovan!!

Ive had several full size vans over the years. Conversion vans are the only way to take a road trip

I'd like to have a nice 70's conversion van though.

also, I'd really like to have one of those 4x4 Toyota vans they made back in the 80's to use for a hunting wagon

I have four 1st gen Econolines, but my daily driver is a 2000 Econoline.

My girlfriend has a 2010 dodge caravan... Three words "stow and go". The back seats fold into the floor for cargo hauling. 30 mpg on the highway and ofcourse ice cold ac. Great van, but it needs abrake job every 4 months. Had a 1991 diesel ford van. It could tow anything, parts would fall off it going down the road though. Got our eyes set on a diesel sprinter van one day. High top, one ton, 40mpg....

For some odd reason brakes on any vehicle always need replaced a lot more often when the vehicle has a woman driver.

COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER

brakes and front tires,my wife goes 2 to 1 with me on both and always turns the stering wheel all the way to the stop when she pulls into a parking space,the funny thing is she always complains about other woman drivers

Speaking of brakes, the front brakes on my 2000 Econoline wear out at 30k miles. The back ones look like they will last forever.

Here is a pic from 130k miles ago when it was new.
