You might need to get a mental health checkup

Anything is possible

**Chevyland** · 12-17-2022, 08:30 PM

Probably the first time this thing has slept indoors
In a long time,,,, if ever ?

We used to hav a 23B Fleetwood motor home several years ago. Ton and a half /v10 Ford. Surprisingly it towed great. The best part was having a place to lay your head at all times on a long haul. I used it to fetch cars and trucks on lots of overnighters. That van will be much like that.

Who knows what will happen
I guess my end goal is to get it back to what it was like in its heyday
Cosmetically as well as mechanically
I need to bring a couple trucks back east
So if it works out, this can be my tow vehicle
Also with the c10 national’s this summer
I thought it would be kinda cool to roll in
Trailering a c10 behind the van

**Chevyland** · 12-18-2022, 01:43 PM

I can feel the wind in my hair already

**Chevyland** · 12-19-2022, 11:19 PM

I know, I know
Boring old van ….
Bear with me ?

Remember the 1970’s decor

**Chevyland** · 12-19-2022, 11:34 PM

Simulated, wood grain

Got it

Does that Kraco CB/AM/FM 8-track work?

**72 tigger** · 12-21-2022, 09:53 PM

Love the van! I worked at a van conversion shop in my high school years. I can come help you

**Chevyland** · 12-21-2022, 11:10 PM

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

The belt in the tape player is likely rotted but simple to replace. You should make sure the CB antenna/cabling is still good and check the SWR before you xmit. That'll be a fun accessory on the road. You should hear lots of activity during the day on 6, the Super Bowl.

Killer Bee · 12-22-2022, 03:19 PM

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!

tutone · 12-21-2022, 11:24 PM

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.

Greg58 · 12-22-2022, 06:11 PM

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!

57taskforce · 12-22-2022, 08:51 PM

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.

**Chevyland** · 12-23-2022, 01:06 AM

For some reason, I have the most fun with these turd buckets
A lot going on here now

Gotta, figure out this
3 way radio 8 track cb speaker antenna, thing
