New to the Vintage Vans website

Post by Guest Fri Jun 19, 2015 3:38 pm

Greetings everyone, Brad here, Just picked up my '66 g10 panel that I sold 13 yrs ago. Tracked it down over a six month period thru 3 owners and finally got her home. Am amazed at all the help and info I have read here. I will try to post pictures once I figure out how. I am going to need help with engine to tranny work . Has an automatic in it but it is apart from the engine. Van has a really good start to it, looks pretty much the same as it did when I sold it!(wasn't running) I look forward to talking with fellow vanners!

That's cool that you were able to track down your old ride! It looks pretty darn straight and rust free...Bonus!! Welcome to the best Vintage Van site around. I think you'll be very happy with the helpful folks on this site. Can't wait to see more pics!!!

Welcome, you've come to the right place! Wish I could track down my old van from the '70's, but I think its been made into something else by now like a washing machine....! Looks like a nice clean rust free body, you should have no trouble getting it roadworthy in no time! Start with a big list of what it needs...does it have the tranny hanger? most important part to an auto in these vans...I have a pitted, but usable rear door handle if you need it, I see in that pictures, its missing! Mines better than a nohandle....PM
