    Thanx!! just gonna try to make it reliable for now and use it for Flea Marketing and just all around fun!! I have a whole bunch of stuff I need to get rid of and this van will work perfect!! I used it this last weekend AS a trailer for an antique swap that I go to, I filled it up to the top with junk (Cool old Stuff) and pulled it up onto the trailer and took it to the swap meet, took it off the trailer and drove it into the swap and had a blast!! it was definately a hit there, I know thats kinda cheating but I JUST bought the van the day before and could not risk a breakdown in the van, I REALLY needed to make some dough cause I spent everything I had (and didnt have)on the van and don't know how reliable it is yet, I know it does need a muffler and I want to go thru the brakes, they work but I need to know they are new... being they are the single res type (I think) started having Buyers remorse about it because I'm broke now but heck ....money is nice but these old vans are few and far between,......so I traded the money for the van. I travled many miles for my last econolines to get a good one, funny thing, this chevy was pretty much in my back yard!! the guy was real cool and held the van for me while I could come up with the dough. I still owe him a bike for holding it for me!

    Congrats, that does look like a creampuff. Still working on mine, but so far it is a little more complicated than a tractor--hoping it will be easy to make dependable.

    Happy motoring, Mark
