by 69GeeTen Fri Sep 20, 2024 9:03 pmFound my van a few weeks back on marketplace, jumped on it first thing. No one else had a chance. Turns out the owner was from my neck of the woods back in the '70s. Fella was showing me snap shots from back in the day when I saw a pic of him and his wife. Looked identical to a guy I knew back then, he said that was his younger brother that I knew. Small world. True story.
This guy talked. I mean, he talked the whole time from the minute he answered the phone call, he never stopped talking. The whole time I was looking at the van, and everything else he had there, he never stopped talking. 5 hours later, he's in front of my house delivering the van on his trailer, still talking. I finally had to tell him to leave so I could play with my new toy. Lol. He obliged.
There's a cool story behind the van and everything he did to get it going, and what I did to it to get it running better. It's running fair, with 108k on the clock, she's still a bit smokey. Looks like I'm going to be pulling the engine and ringing it. Gonna be nice when I'm done. Thanks for having me.
