    Hi Everyone,
    I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself.
    I live in Dallas, Texas , and have owned this
    1965 Dodge A100 for a couple of years now.
    First time Van owner, and I'm absolutely in love with this Van.

    Dix is right on about the chrome trim, I have been looking for the trim right above both front doors. None to be found, I am considering just going without any chrome until I find those last two pieces.

    Blanchard's salvage in Wilton, NH had a custom sportsman with some trim still on it. Is this what you guys are looking for? It was still on the van as of a month ago.

    I think west coast is in need of the front wheel well chrome. .If the price was fair i'd be interested in the roof gutter chrome.

    Wheelie, I think they were talking about the Salvage yard van that Snarky posted with chrome trim on the drip edge, not JD's.

    Oh I see! I was thinking, damn vultures! j/k Laughing

    I got to meet with JD and check out the van today. He couldn't be a nicer guy and also an owner of a bad ass collection of Hot Wheels! really cool! I will be helping to get his van more reliable to take on long trips. He has great plans for it. The thing has a great patina btw. I will snap some pics of it tomorrow. Smile
