    Hi everyone, I'm a noob from Denver. I always wanted a van and finally got the cash together and picked up this sportsman.

    It's got a few problems but is mostly straight.
    Looking forward to getting started.

    Steering is a bit loose. The joint there is a bit worn. The guy I got it from said he couldn't find the part. I guess I'll start looking.

    Driver's side tail light is out and has this random yellow wire hanging out. Once I figure out where that goes maybe the light will work.

    But first things first. I'm going to gas it up, get it registered and go outside every 15 minutes to look at it because I'm stoked to have it.

    Nice van.... the yellow connects to the red on the left taillight, it should also have a brown to brown. The part you are looking for is going to be tough since you have power steering. The eye lids are cool.

    Got mine back from paint. 68 Dodge LL1 Turquoise Poly.

    Now I need to start thinking about interior color combos.

    Yep it's got power steering. It turned out that the problem was in the gear box and not the joint I initially thought.

    I'm putting sound mat down and planning interior color combos and wall panels. I'll shoot some pics and post as I go.

    This guy has some good diy insulation tips that I might try.
