1983 was the year that they changed the steering column from floor to fire wall it really gave the driver compartment a more comfortable feel and the tilt wheel was now in your lap unlike the 71 - 82 that just pivoted up by the dash. This is a cool look into the structure of our vans. Great work Blag!!!

I got the cab mounted to the chassis this weekend. It still needs some minor adjusting here and there, but it's in place. I'm glad to report that all of the mounting positions on the chassis match up with those on the donor cab. Fits like a glove. :-)

Inside the garage looking out...What a great Idea to build the room around the coach. Free's up alot of working space.

Yes sir. The rv wouldn't fit in my workshop so I had to improvise. Luckily I have two roller doors, so I was able to dedicate one of them to the rv for this project. It works well and keeps the wind and rain out for the most part.

Major props for rebuilding it this extensively, most people now days would just chuck it and buy a new one. Awesome look into the underpinnings of a van. You make it look easy.


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.
