I have a 66 TradeWind. We were looking for one with a good body and a crappy interior, and found one in amazing condition. Too nice to modify. I will eventually post photos of it connected to the truck but it needs polishing first.

As for the body control module question, the issue here is that the BCM is really the master of the entry and security system. I had no way to replicated what all the switches did on the latches such that I could use the original remote key fob. I hate alarms so I wound up only connecting the door open function and wired the aftermarket remote to the same ground so I get convenience lighting. If I had it to do over again I would see if there's a way to eliminate the BCM completely.
