Re: Let's see some van love!

Wow! I love that thang!!!

Ok,that one prompted me to pull out some photo albums and snap some shots of snap shots (no scanner these days). Here's my '66 Baja Bus,as I called it. I traveled all around in it in the early 70s.

Not such good copy shots. I couldn't use flash and speed was too slow.


The interior was mahogany with redwood trim. The bumpers were mahogany over steel channel. That's the oil cooler on the roof with a guard I made out of redwood (drilled a pattern of 1" holes). The company that built my motor in CA (Reevco/Berkley) usually mounted these on the rear quarter and I thought that was too vulnerable,so they gave me some line and let me route it how I wanted. I lived in it on their lot while they built the motpr:


This is an earlier shot taken entering Rocky Mountain National Park above Estes Park. The sign says two miles above sea level...
