Re: ChevyLand ‘The Truck Photo Tour’
Thanks guys
Joe, my goal is to get it done and drive across the country We’ will have to see on the timing There are several shows I want to hit up this summer Independence being one of them Kirk, I’ll buy your ticket. You want to come in march? Or April?? Bodybolt, Funny you asked The guy I bought it from told me it’s a combo unit And he heard some chatter over the cb When I turned it on, music was playing I thought it was coming from the dash But it actually has speakers wired up top I didn’t even pay attention that it was an 8track I guess I’ll have to find one to see if that functions |
Re: ChevyLand ‘The Truck Photo Tour’
I used to have a "Neil Sadaka" 8 track tape in my case back in the 70s. My friends gave me grief about it all the time. Never cared for the music on it, but I swear that tape was indestructable. No player could eat it. I wish I still had it, I'd send it to you so you could hear that baby work.

Re: ChevyLand ‘The Truck Photo Tour’
hey Eric that van is super cool! like the rest, I'm anxious to see what you do with it..
my only suggestion is make sure the fridge works - a man can tolerate a lot more if he's got plenty of cold beer! |
Re: ChevyLand ‘The Truck Photo Tour’
Is that van a 72? When I was around 20 I bought a blue 72 van from an old carpenter I knew. It was ugly but ran great, turned out it had a 400sb in it.
Don't remember what I did with it, at that time I would buy and sell cheap cars continuously. But I remember that thing would burn rubber as long as you stayed on it! |
Re: ChevyLand ‘The Truck Photo Tour’
Awesome score Eric! I can’t wait to see what you do with it. If your travels come thru this part of NM hit me up. I know where good food is lol.

It’s got a 350 in it
Turbo 350 tranny which I found surprising since it’s a 1ton I drained 15 gallons of old gas out of it Replaced all the rubber fuel lines It still ran rough so I pulled the carb to get it rebuilt It has it original a/c One I’ve never seen before A unit that is bolted to the floor between the seats I’m really hoping I can get it working again Seems all intact Plus, a custom fan on the dashboard |

These things stay cold with ice for long time And I’m probably going to ditch the stove and large propane tank Underneath the van For a more compact setup |

Factory paint and period correct interior ideas.
And lots of other crazy vans https://www.hemmings.com/stories/201...ional-truck-in |
Re: ChevyLand ‘The Truck Photo Tour’
Definitely some crazy interiors there
I never thought about it, but like that article said the van culture could care less about poping the dog house, or even what was under it It was all about the interior ! The gaudier the better !! |
