| | | Just bought a 87 Dodge B250 | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 16 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 16 | I finally got my hands on a cool 1987 Dodge B-250 Van, and I have been inspired to customize and restore the thing after a short time of owning it. It has been taken care of very well by its previous 2 owners, and runs and drives like new. It has two huge bench seats behind the two lazy boy like chairs in the front, and a folding table that folds away and turns into a bed for camping. Its missing a headliner, and the floor by the rear drivers side is weak and should be replaced. Makes a few creaks and squeaks. Needs some good old TLC. I'm looking to replace the floor, headliner, carpet, (cheap-ishly) and tune-up the engine - upkeep ideas for the suspension. I hope meeting new friends here will help in my vanning adventure, and maybe warning of what pitfalls may lie ahead. Any feedback or leads to other vans like this one or parts for it would be great. Thanks again folks. Godspeed ~G.R.

Nice van.
The 1980 Dodge B-series van that brought me here. It sat untouched in a garage since 1989! I sold it back to the very same guy who drove it 30 years ago for Mobile radio. Sometimes you just have to put a van where it belongs. Glad to see her getting the love it deserves. | | | Re: Just bought a 87 Dodge B250 | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 907 old hand | old hand Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 907 | Welcome from WV! Cool Dodge!
