I don't think the factory painted the Street Vans those crazy schemes you see in the magazines. It was up to the owner. Dodge provided the blank canvas. Thats Rite You just got a paperback with "Idea's" of some paint,the full size pattrens were nice! No guess work just trace and cut,and underlayment fit 2 da T!! I Let someone use them pattrens years ago and never got them back,and cant even remember who I let use them!!! 79 B-200

He wanted $75 for it...I should have bought it.

Can't wait to check for this ID tag and find out for sure. Here's some info from Wikipedia for the Street Van. Check out the web page. There's alot of other info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram_VanDodge vans, particularly 'Tradesman' vans from the 1971-1977 model years, were very popular as the basis for many custom vans during the custom van craze that occurred during the mid to late 70s and early 80s. Dodge capitalized on this craze, creating a factory customization package called the "Street Van" package. This was advertised alongside the Lil' Red Express and Warlock trucks as "Adult Toys". The Street Van package consisted of a "Street Van" logo on the passenger and driver's side door in lieu of the Tradesman logos, chrome trim on the grille and windshield, simulated wood grain inlays in the steering wheel horn cover and passenger side glare shield, 5 slot chrome rims or white spoked "off-road" type rims, chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome trim on the gauges, smaller chrome side view mirrors, patterns and plans to create custom interiors, and membership in the "Dodge Van Clan". This package was available from the 1976 model year until it was discontinued in the early 80s. This was not an overly-popular option from the factory, and Street Vans are somewhat rare. The chrome metal Street Van emblems found on later Street Vans (emblems through mid-1978 were stickers) in good shape are quite valuable to collectors or restorers

But it never had the decals on it. Still showing all its original paint. But it does have all the other stuff the Street van was supposed to have.

Not even a sway bar. The Big Deal about the Street Van pkg was the patterns for the interior. Many guys wanted to buy patterns for their van interiors back then and you still see postings now where they want to buy patterns for their dodge, chevy or ford. We just got our tape measures, t-squares and jigsaws and went at it. Its as complicated as you make it !
