Just bought a 1967 van

Congrats and welcome ! If you have an early van this is the best site you could be on.
I have a 67 G. I'm no mechanic, without the help I've got from the people on this site, there is no way I would have been able to do half of the things I've done with my van.
Good luck with your van. Take your time, your van is worth it. ~ GK.

Rocky, you've definitely made it your own! Freedom of expression at it's finest! Dare to be different...if it makes you happy, don't matter what anyone else thinks!!!

"Great Job" Question..!!!..I am thinking the Red Ceder on mine also VERY SOON the same way... Did the boards start out in 8 ft lengths and you cut them down to get that effect or did they come in different lengths..??..I guess what I am trying to say is do you think If I go with the same 8ft boards I can get away with out putting any plywood down first or do you need something behind the cedar boards for support..??..I was thinking screw 4 inch wide strips of plywood on each rib for something to fasten the boards to instead....And how wide are the boards that you used 3 or 4 inch.??...Thanks..Joe..

4 ft lengths an some shorter it comes 15 sq ft to a pack for 30 $ I used 3/8 behind it as I felt 1/4 was to flimsy it is 4 in wide and I have used 4 packs so far an bought 4 more for ceiling hoping to return 1

also glued (liquid nails) an screwed it took screws out after 12 hours
