Ad text "1965 gmc handy-van
240 i-6, 3speed manual on the column, runs and drives, tags are current. new water pump, and fuel pump. vintage black plates. its a project for sure. title in hand. come see it and drive it home. cash talks and bull$hit walks!"

I wonder if the title says GMC or a Chevy

Lots of folks back in the day removed the GMC off the front and the "Handi-Van badges off the sides.....
This van is gonna be a killer deal for somebody that knows how to deal with major rust repair....The overhead door frame, roof pillars and windshield surround area are rotten and have been made presentable as much as most Ca guys know how..... it runs, it's got nice chrome bumpers and mirrors, wheels and tires look right and it's fit to cruise right now.... AND four windowless doors!...….Somebody really needs to buy this!...…. I've got an offer in at, IMO, a "rusted cruiser" price, but the amount he's asking is not unreasonable for somebody looking to get into vanning with something that runs.....

I agree, looks like a great deal for someone with metal skills...

I would put the old badges back on the van, GMC's are more rare! ...but that's just me!

If a person REALLY wanted to know what their van is,,,,,you can check the gas tank VIN or the rear bumper VIN,,,,,,,,,just in case all the slamming of of drivers door loosened the front VIN plate rivets and it,,,,,,,,,,fell,,,,,,,,,off.

Hi Don, Is the rear bumper VIN on the bumper itself or somewhere on the roll pan or frame?

,,,,got to pull the gas tank,,,,,,,,

Did you get it? He edited the ad to now show two 57 Ford pickups for sale...

I'd be real surprised if someone hasn't grabbed it yet..... No, it wasn't me!......I'm deep into my 69 108 build and I've got a 91 g20 needing some attention, as well...…
I just didn't want to see it scrapped in frustration, so I put in a (low) backup offer...

I think we will see start seeing a lot of CL ads changed to different vehicles because CL is now charging $5 for a 30 day ad for cars and trucks, motorcycles and RVs.....

My tank is out - were should I look?

From Don's pic, it looks like you should check under that hole where the hose comes through...
