Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion General Discussion Score ! Get something cool for your ride ? Show it here .

Here is a cool idea , if you get a new after market part or even a good deal on an orginal van part Van ,post it here for every one to see.

I'll start it of with my Beautiful wife showing Shuttle Crafts new 23 Inch Vizio Razor HDMI LED TV .

Sweet!!! X 3

Ps: watts dat in background? An old set of ladder bars?

Get something cool for your ride....ok, is the tv for her or the van? Teasing ya. Looks nice. Brad

As big/long as that van is, need 52" or bigger! Send that little thing to me for Wolf Den!

Great idea and nice!

Thanks I thought it would be cool to see what other people are doing and we all like Score stories on Vintage parts as well as getting ideas for other projects .

Here's the Head Unit that will operate the LED TV , It has everything from Navigation , bluetooth, and back up camera .

I just scored a Superior 500 wood steering wheel and a 70's Super Horn musical horn which I haven't seen in years for next to nothin! And you can see the wiring is almost done. Just waiting for the harness tape.

Thats a really Nice steering wheel !!! I have always like the Superior 500 wheel .

Whoa, nice find! I found one of those wheels in my dad's junk pile, it's hanging on the wall waiting for the right rig to get put into.

Thanks, The wheel looks right at home in this van. I hooked up the Super Horn and man you can probably hear it in the next state. It plays a lot of neat songs and if I can figure it out you can program your own songs. I am going to use the horn speaker for the CB PA too! Kill two birds with one stone.

I thought this was rare enough for a mention in this thread. I scored these on Ebay a year or so ago and just got around to painting/installing them. These are not the fiberglass copies that are still available, these are the originals which were made from some sort of plastic or polyethylene. A big plus of the plastic I found out while installing them is that because they bend you can get a much better fit and you can fully screw them down with no screw showing inside. But there is a con for the plastic ones too. I'm pretty sure molding them in is not an option with this material.

Those Mirrors look Great on the Van X-Man

Here are my recent two scores a second Jen Venturi Vent and a Pair of original rear window Covers . I love this style of window Louvers .

Nice! Did you get those louvers from Kirk at Customvan.com? If not that means he still has a set if anyone is looking. Unless he sold them at the Nats lol

Yes I did : )

sweet. I have seen ads for those mirror covers in some of the old magazines.

Both great scores!

got this one for my shorty

Got me a wing for my shorty today

Grats!!! That is a sweet wing!!! That was one of my other choices for a wing but I didn't know where to begin to find one. I like that vent too, could you please post some pics of it. I've never seen one I don't think.

oh, but ofcourse

Very, Very cool vent. Never seen one.
I could use the louvers, wing and that vent. That would make one cool looking van. I am going to have to keep my eye's open wider.

Man, where did you find those! They didn't have 2 pairs did they? lol

Ebay, but it was a long time ago. They are available in fiberglass from Hank:
Hanks Custom Fiberglass
35 Warner St , Hamden,Ct 06514

Got me a sunvisor for the shorty today

can't figure out what more i need for the Van but plates, ofcourse, it would be nice with some flares too

First time i seen wings on a visor!

very nice

I scored a roll pan, belly pan, for my 91 Dodge shorty, from someone at the NATS. I also scored a non blend style front air dam, from Guy & Judy, our last stop on the way home from our holidays, following the NATS. I hope to have the airdam on for Butler, possibly for Bad Girls. No pics yet.

I hope you plan on taking that eagle off of that visor.......

.......Wookee

Well, i had planned on Going to Van Slam this weekend, but i had to work. So on the way home this morning i decided to treat the van to a new entertainment system, i got a 22" Led flat screen along with Blu Ray player and a Full Motion wall mount.
Now to just get in there and install it.

I'm digging that eagle! Leave it!

That sounds great Howard,let me know how hard it is to put in and where you got it.

I was at the local car boot sale this morning. You don't really expect to find van stuff but I scored these as well as some classic car books.

Cheesy song but I had to have it €2



I love this a glass playboy club ashtray. Suits the shaggy wagon I reckon!

Nice find Shaggy....

These visors had a bad habit of flapping in the wind at hi speeds 55to70 MPH,if the little steel side braces on the a pillars where not installed.

The weight of that eagle could really compound than problem.......

.......Wookee

I went wandering through the junkyard yesterday and this is what I found. The small overhead console was in a GMC. Don't know what the toggle switch on the side was originally for. The magazine rack was on the side door of a Dodge, and the Coca-Cola bottle opener and it's trim piece were on the inside of the rear door of the same Van. I have a Guinness bottle opener that I'll probably use instead of the Coca-Cola, but will mount it in the same location. After I clean and repaint the wood, of course! Got everything for $7.20

Just love those deals........

73-77 dash. NOS orginal... never installed in a van worthy?

Charley

I am going to take off my BIG side mirror's okk and put new small ford vans one on I am wanten to sell these price well be right,.. take the old ones off put the new ones on 750.00
Charley

$750.00 to swap mirrors??? A direct swap? What mirrors do you have and what do you want to put on? I have my old mirrors if you want that style. Talk to me first buddy.

Just wanted to say this thread is a great idea. I was thinking along those lines myself.
Didn't score much lately myself.
Got some window rain vents today for 10 bucks, but those are a bit common.

Whoooo Hooooooo!!! I scored Huge today !

Incase the link dies :
I found NOS weather strips :



Here is a group of NOS weatherstrip that fits Dodge and Plymouth full sized vans from 1971-1990, according to my local dealership. The part numbers are listed below, but these part numbers have been superceded. I bought these back in 1994 for a 1973 Dodge Maxi Van, but they will work on a regular cargo van as well. The boxes are all sealed and I think there is one piece that is missing from the set. Going by the part numbers I think that it would be the right half side cargo door. It was probably already discontinued when I bought the others. The shipping would be oversize and too expensive if I keep the boxes sealed, so I will open the boxes and fold them flat and put everything in one large box.



04217552 Right Front Door

04217553 Left Front Door



04033225 Sealing Strip?

04354112 Left Half Side Cargo Door

04354113 Missing Right Half Side Cargo Door?



04354114 Right Rear Cargo Door

04324115 Left Rear Cargo Door

Nice score!

I did score 5 Slotmags for my Van this weekend

3 of them are 6X14 and the 2 last are 8.5X15
had some old tires in the barn, so now they are ready for a ride soon


did also get me some goodies for the shorty

if you don't see what it is, it's a roofrack :P

I scored 4 15x10 Slots and also two additional 15x10 slots and 2 15x7 slots.

4 lANDED ON THE fLAMe.

Also scored 4 buckets out of a 77 Dodge and a gauge cluster two back pop out windows and two arm rests.

I love slots. And they look awesome on the flame Hippie.

My next door neighbor has a '98 caravan. Yesterday he came over to show me his new '96 dodge ram. He says "I blew my van up on the way to work. If you go get it, it's yours.....here's the title." Needless to say I was scrambling to get a truck and trailer. I got it home last night. My buddy (guy with truck) came down today to help me strip it. We put in a good days work and got everything I needed to get mine back on the road, and then some. Plus it had a little better then half tank of gas that he put in the evening before. Believe it or not, the pretty wifie was out slingin tools too! Then we loaded it back on the trailer and took it to the scrapyard......$289.00. I'd say it was a VERY good deal. Oh, on the way to get the van I found a '71-'77 dodge long wheelbase sitting in a guys yard. I'll check on it real soon.
Keep on VANNIN! Jaws
