    The list is going to grow I'm sure. Digz has the sunvisors still need the 4 door strap pins, small lever for the air box under the dash. I'll let you know more later I'm going to work on it Saturday to get it ready for Baker's. Letting my father-in law bring it. (he excited to do it)

    Glad you chimed in Tom, this van also doesn't have Brackets the pins go in. Busy today getting the 69 ready and loaded for Baker's next week. Still have to look over the 66 for more parts needed. Just got it back from Kens for the roof repairon Saturday. Still can't believe how great it look up there
