Well got the van into the back. My son and I started tearing into it. Well what a nightmare. Wiring everywhere. Burnt, frayed, spliced you name it I am sure that it has been done. So my first agenda is to clean up and make the wiring safe. Don't want any electrical fires. Not fun!!!
I did find out that the engine (318 2bbl.) it supposed to have has been changed to nice 360 4bbl. out of a '79 B200. That's a plus!

Now a couple of questions if you guys don't mind,
What went on the inside of the front doors? It looks like a cable went there. You can see a rub mark also hangers for a cable. I don't see it in the factory repair manuals and my parts book is not here yet.
Has anyone redone the pointers on the gauges, if so what color orange did you use. To me it looks like a fluorescent color.
I would like to redo or replace the PRNDL glass. Has anyone done that.
Sorry for all the questions its just that I want to get it back on the street to drive. I am just a little OK a lot excited!! Here are some pics more to come

It is better to have Van'd once in your life, then to never had Van'd at all!
