Hello

Credo here been lurking on the site for a while
Now... Finally decided to join since I'm officially
Vannin again.. I saved up my bus boy tips
When I was 16 and bought my first dodge van an 83?
It was an electricians old panel, paid 600 bucks and took
It on tour with my punk band that summer
From Kalamazoo , mi out east! We named it chuck bisquits!
Owned a few in between but have been van less for the last
14 or so years until last week when I picked up
1974 g10 sport van beauville Shorty! Had been parked in a
Old dark garage for over 24 years ! And taken over by rats!If I didn't unearth her she (lupe)Was scrap bound ! You won't believe the before pics!
Anyway I'll stop ranting for now...thanks for having me.
