The first is from around 1974 and the next is about 1978. The subject vehicle is our 1972 E100 window van ordered new and picked up in autumn 1971, which my dad made into a camper that slept all 6 of us (at the size some of us were, that was possible!). In the second picture you can see we'd added some aftermarket sliding windows on the left side. This van was about the cheapest, bare bones, stripper model you could get, except for the 302, windows, and of course, the sliding door. No other options. | | | Re: official Ford owners picture thread | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 29 newbie | newbie Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 29 | Heres mine the day I got it home and off the trailer:

Its fairly clean considering the age. Inside needs a good steam bath, and outside needs a toothbrush to all the seams. Standard WA state green slime growing everywhere. (You cant let rigs sit under fir trees in this state for more than a week). Very little rust that I can find on the body, and just one big dent on the drivers side from a trailer accident by the previous owner. Needs all the window seals replaced, and I think door seals also, and the captains chairs arms are all really loose. Oh, and *ALL* of the suspension rubber is shot, good thing bronco parts are cheap hahaha.

Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 | The new Dodge Caravan has them from second row back. The only reason they became illegal was seat belt laws. If the seat belts are integrated int the seats (as the new Caravans are) then the seats and swivel bases are legal. Installing seats from another vehicle in your van is a whole other | | |
