I have been reading the "new to the site" articles. Thought I would put in my 2 cents worth. I have a 1981 Chevy shorty with the Beauville package. Ordered it from factory in August of 81. Went around North American coast in January of 82 (3 1/2 months - 65,000 km) with a buddy. She has been always stored in a heated garage so she is still in excellent shape. Was used to haul kids around and camping for the last 20 years. Kids are almost gone now so wife and I are starting to enjoy her again for ourselves. she is in need of some small things like dash light holders, door light switches etc. Been trying to search Google for a good parts place and having no luck. Any suggestions where a person could buy OEM parts for this vintage or good used parts? I want to keep here original if possible. Thank you in advance.

Welcome from Germany, and congratulation for the long time you have your van.
I had my first Vanagon from november 1987 until december 2009, but had to let it go for to much corrosion.
Now I'm working to brake that record with the Highway, the first 11 years where finished last week.
