Get everything you can from that donor van, including any little interior extras.
Windows- they're what make a van worth owning! | | | I GOT PARTS!!! | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,020 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,020 | Made a deal today for both rear doors (rust free aside from one penny sized spot just starting at the top where the bracket screws in for the pop out window), hood, grill, high back front seats (worn, but rebuildable), factory dash clock, rear chrome around the tail lights, a tail light, and the slider (rust free, couple of parking lot dings) all swapped for $100! Oh and the rear drivers door has a ladder on it too! Saturday morning I am driving out there to finalize the deal I am so excited my van wont look like such a pile of shit anymore.. lol Now, I am going to order my floor pans, a welder, and an air hammer to pop factory spot welds. Now to fix that pesky air compressor.. grrrrr.. I found out that Rust-oleum makes a rubber under coating that I am going to pick up a few cans of to coat the frame and under belly since road salts are used like there is no tomorrow out here!

I think I'm doing good so far. I tried to order the pans from Mill and they didn't put shipping on my order page. I had to call em and find out why my order wasnt processed yet. Found out the 3 floor pieces I ordered is going to cost me $35 for a total of $137! Ack! Well at least its coming together | | | Re: My FREE '87 Econo I drove 350 miles home (57 Pics) | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,020 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,020 | | | | Re: My FREE '87 Econo I drove 350 miles home (57 Pics) | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | If ya dont have a roof rack you dont need the ladder
