I didn't have a van back then, but a friend got one ('74 GMC G30 shorty) that had a mini-fridge sized cabinet right behind the driver seat full of home stereo equipment including two items that I feel truly represent '70's stereo equipment:

A TEAC reel to reel tape deck and a Heathkit stereo reverb/time delay "sound shaper".

The tape deck may not fit your plans and car audio time delay units may not have been available yet (i got a Alpine unit in '78), but reverb units were.

Thanks VanLoon for your input. I would like an EQ, but I think they became popular in the late 70's. Just out of my year range. I know I am anal!!!!!


vandude360; I have seen some vans in the 70's Vannin mags that have a complete home stereo set up. Man that's the way to go to listen to tunes!!!
One van had a reel to reel in the back door. The funny thing is on the cover the reel player is in the left rear door and in the article it is in the right rear door. The correct pic was the right, because the license plate was on the left. Can we say reverse negative!!!

I just received another pair of 1975 Craig 6x9's NOS mint to add to my set up!!!!!!

I can't wait to hook up this stereo set up. When I am done it will have more switches, headphone connections, and wires then a B17 bomber and probably sound like a "Coke Can Radio" but, that's the true 70's sound I am after.
Thanks again to all that have responded!!!!!

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