1st Gen 8 door

Thats.............................kewl!!

I've never seen an 8 door chevy before. Another thing odd is it has 'chevy van' emblems, not sportvan.

Didn't even know chevy made an 8 door. That is cool. Anyone know how many of these were made?

hello vannish. lets see. i traded a jap made scooter for a 1974 amc gremlin. was going to fix up, but the guy i traded with wanted it back so thats how i ended up with this van. he told me as soon as i got it fixed up he wanted it back also, but i dont think he will ever own this one again. the van engine was rebuilt 2 years ago, but the carburator needs rebuilding, so waiting on kit and new float. the old van has hardly no rust though at all, just the surface rust you see . it has a 3 speed on colum, that is tight for its age. dont know at this point what color i will paint it. i will be posting more pictures later. i dont know much about the van, but the guy i traded with said, he had never seen one that had doors on both sides. this could be one of those johnny cash was singing about. ONE PIECE AT A TIME. billy

Welcome to the board Billy. Do you know if your van was ever listed on E-bay( maybe a year or two ago)? I think I remember seeing an 8 door listed but everyone thought it was probably a mod instead of factory. I think it was in Alabama.
Great looking van and extremely rare. Keep the pic's coming.

that's a beautiful thing!

hey wide load. this could be the van on ebay you seen. my buddy jammie that i got it from had listed it i know at least one time. the reason i know, we was talking about it and he told me that he listed it as a 1960. he was going by the date on the tail light lens and someone emailed him and told him that chevrolet did not make a g-10 van in 1960. so more likley the same van you seen. billy

That's the one. Now I remember it being listed as a 1960. Congrat's looks like you got a keeper.

Welcome Billy Eight Door,well it looks as though we can put to rest this urban legend.Very nice find.Look forward to your progress.
