Any van love?
 

I know this is a truck forum! but my other truck is a van, I love this thing! Done so much work with it. and the best part is stuff doesn't get wet lol

Also do you think the rear bumper on the van would fit on the truck with some different brackets?

Re: Any van love?
 

Nice van. I've been thinkin of getting one for traveling, that or a 2wd Suburban.
I don't know about the van bumper, but an easier solution would be the blazer bumpers, they bolt right up, brackets and all.

Re: Any van love?
 

I posted a few van pics a long while back but didn't get much response. If you go to the "advanced" feature on search and look for van in the "title" only it will pull up several hits, including answers to your question on the bumper.

Re: Any van love?
 

this is my old mans 78 chevy shorty van we rebuilt it like 2 years ago with a new 350 and fresh paint and new rims. best part is we added flame throwers out the exhaust tips and it shoots about 1-2 feet of flame.

Gotta be honest with ya, I wouldn't mind getting one of those trucks :metal:

Re: Any van love?
 

i love older chevy vans. definitely going to be a future build of mine!!

Re: Any van love?
 

Vans with rally rims are cool to use for making front rims for your truck!

Re: Any van love?
 

That's all my pop's had when i was growing up..i'm a van fan..

Re: Any van love?
 

My van's little cousin! I have an 87 Rally STX 3/4 ton. Same exact paint colors, but light blue is on the top and bottom. Dark blue is the middle color. Man, I have to get some photos up.

I'm sorry for the huge photos! And the rogue Chevrolet hubcap!:gmc2:

Re: Any van love?
 

This. I'm still looking for a shorty panel van. Do it like the Vanners did in the 70s.:metal:

Re: Any van love?
 

I'm also a big fan of the older vans. The first picture is of a van I sold this past summer: a '92 Chevy Sportsmobile. The second picture is a van I currently have: a '95 12 passenger made into a 9 passenger conversion. The third picture is my dream van: a '79 GMC Street Sedan to match my '79 Street Coupe. The last picture is a Chevy Sport Van.

Re: Any van love?
 

Heck yes vans are cool! Love the 70s styling on these things. Here is the baddest of them all...

This is my 1978 Chevy Sport Van.

Re: Any van love?
 

I always loved vans. I raised 4 boy's, we had several Van's over the yr's. Gave my last one to my oldest when I got the Dually. the boy's always hate'd em till we would go outa town and take there freinds with em.
I wanna get a '60 style Ford or Chevy one of these day's.

Re: Any van love?
 

That is sweet

Re: Any van love?
 

Some dude in Houston owns the real A- Team van. That would be cool.

Re: Any van love?
 

I am a big fan of the ’70-’95 G-vans myself. My Dad used to buy a new one every few years in the late 70’s through the early 90’s. My Dad passed away this past summer but my Mom still has their 1990 Explorer conversion van that they bought new.

StreetCoupe,

Nice vans you have! I would have loved to taken the white Sportsmobile off of your hands. That is a clean van for being in Michigan! (I used to live close to Waterford) I had been actively combing Sportsmobiles websites for used ’87-’95 penthouse top G-vans to convert to 4x4 but just recently pulled the trigger on a new truck slide-in pop up camper so the 4x4 van project is off.

Re: Any van love?
 

Nice! One of my buds has a '68 G series that he's driven every day for the last 12 years. Got to love the van!

And then there's this one down at Del Mar... Classic van action at it's best.

Re: Any van love?
 

I forgot that I had taken these. This is a real attraction for all the kids at the local car shows.

Re: Any van love?
 

Good to see some van support lol! Nice vans everyone!

Re: Any van love?
 

There's a good thread on vans on the HAMB...

My dad used to have a 76 g10 that was stolen about 4 years ago I don't have any pics of the van on my computer but this one is very close just put the slot mags like on the Mystery Machine above and there you go. Wish we still had it

Re: Any van love?
 

Couple of cool van clubs out here too. Vandaleros and Kidnappers VC. I think both have pretty good web sites.

Re: Any van love?
 

Here is my '87 g20 doing some autocrossing with the previous owner. I actually find it more functional than my pick-up especially when hauling the kids around.

Someday I would love a Quigley 4x4 van.

Re: Any van love?
 

The Overhaulin' Van is one of my favorites.

Here are some more cool ones.

This van is just bad ass.

Re: Any van love?
 

Love me some fans, me and wife are actually looking for a shorty van for tailgaiting next football season. We want to CHARGER it out!!

Re: Any van love?
 

that 900 horsepower van is nuts lol!

Re: Any van love?
 

Re: Any van love?
 

Here's my '76 G10 SWB Sport Van. This is a picture of the last day I had it running over two years ago. What a shame... Many'a'good memories in this cunnalingus caravan.

Re: Any van love?
 

This pic is the exact color of my 79 stepside sport, yikes, but nice

Re: Any van love?
 

A van is not a van without round headlights. Nice pics

Re: Any van love?
 

Love the early 70s Chevy Vans!

Well said... You would get a kick out of "vannin", a van forum. You wouldn't believe the S&%$ these guys try to pass off as vans. Honda Odsseys, Ford Voyagers, and Dodge Caravans as far as the eye can judge. I love classic cars, trucks and vans... How is it possible that anyone can take pride in their 2001 "dust buster" Chrystler Town and Country?

Re: Any van love?
 

I recall in high school auto shop another student built, I believe a a 74 shortbed he named in china jade. It was that dark chevy green, cragar mags, side pipes and an awesome interior, wish I had pics of it.

Re: Any van love?
 

Saw one the other day painted flat black, had a light bar across the roof, big winch bumper and mud tires. My mom said it gave her the creeps, lol. I liked it.

Re: Any van love?
 

Ive allways loved the shorty vans with side pipes. One day one day

Re: Any van love?
 

Wow. I never "got" the van thing. Really don't like driving them, although I have to admit they must be great for family transport, and I've seen some of the luxury conversion jobs that would be nice to take the kids on long trips.

I've always said I will never drive a minivan, in fact my wife has a bumpersticker that says just that. I would drive a 60s station wagon. But until there are no more Suburbans left I see no need to ever consider a minivan. I don't care how perfectly utilitarian they are, I plan on keeping my man card. We have two Suburbans now.

I love the club name Kidnappers, lol! Reminds me of the black one in the movie Old School. People with vans are up to no good;>
