New here & attempting to figure this sight out...

Hello I hope to enjoy the jurney with ya'll...

,,,you are starting off good in my book,,,,,,,,you put down a good location of where you are at,,,,which tells me you want to be part of our operation,,,,,,,,if you were trying to enlarge the font,,,,,the words go between the 2 size brackets,,,,,,same way for the colors

Thanks, guess I'll stick with the plain & simple for now...
tried to upload some photos, but the little "gear" just spun around for ever. perhaps later when I have more time...

I started out with a `65 GMC Handy-bus about a year ago. Then stumbled across a`67 108 (out-side of the) barn find. It was purchased locally from Wagner Chevrolet for service as a Hazel's Candies delivery van. It is mostly a "survivor" and still has the Logos on the side, along with the original 283 & 3 on the tree.

We drug it home about a mile with a chain with the intention of using it for parts for the `65. However after assessing both, and subsequently receiving an offer on the `65, the Candy Van Can became the keeper! It proved to be a wise choice, as it has shone its self to be vary "un-molested" and rust free. So far it has all new brakes, fuel system (the tank only required hot-tanking, no rust), and stealth electronic ignition to replace the points. the engine runs smooth and quiet, no smoke at all! All the latches were removed cleaned and rebuilt as needed (worn parts were brazed and turned on a lathe to spec) they operate as new. We're going for the survivor look thus attempting to retain all of it's Patina possible!2014-10-2622:40:58

Welcome to VV cvc. Looking forward to some pics once you get that figured. You have come to the right place for vintage van knowledge. Best of the best in here.

Thanks everyone! I believe I got the "upload" figured out (Chose the old school option)...

Well OK so I still have to work on the picture that goes with the posts ???

welcome to the show

I think I would stay away from writing in BLUE,,,,,,,,also go up to PROFILE,,,choose AVATAR and get yourself an icon to go along with your name for your posts,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thank you Donivan65... "Avitar" accepted my photo (I think)...

it says Hazels

Yes, that's true... Hazel's (and in cursive) Candies.

Thus the CandyVanCan "pun" from the song; "The Candy Man Can" ...`cuz he mixes it with love and makes the world go around...

They had a local candy factory here in Yakima, Other locations were; Northgate Mall (Tacoma, WA) & Seattle center (Seattle, WA)

As it turns out a friend of mine owns the former "factory" building, and filled me in on some history when I mentioned I had acquired the "Candy Van". I'm hopeful that he, or people he knows can provide some vintage photos of both the van & the factory...

cool story,nice save.

,,,,I surely like KitKat candy bars,,,,,,,
