    Had the 3 speed rebuilt, installed new clutch and put in a 1966 200 CI out of a Mustang with only 80k on it.

    Also powder coated the dog house, added a Flow master that goes in 1 and comes out 2 in front of both back wheels with nice big chrome tips. Replaced all cargo doors with better than I had ones and welded in new floor pans due to a leaky sun roof and sitting in a field for 15 years.

    The body looks good and straight from here. Sorry about your knee, that sucks. I've been there with sciatic stuff after blowing a disc in my spine trying to keep a new 9.9 outboard from hitting the floor when it slipped on it's footing a few years ago. Twisting first thing in the morning. There was a 'pop'  Laughing  I'm good now after 4 years *fingers crossed*

    Absolutely Love ❤️ that triangle window on the passenger side. Did you add that in yourself or was that special ordered by the original owner ? Cragars look great 👍 too! Nice Van!!!

    Thanks man, knee is heeling up faster than expected. KTM 690 got the best of me. Van was a special order. I think its rad how it only has the small window on one side too. Now that its running and stopping well its going to the shop this Friday to have the wiring straightened out. Its a mess. As soon as I get it back Im going to start on the inside. Still not sure what to do yet, thinking bed in back and a couple seats for my friends. Just not sure yet.
