Here is my van. I drove to Miami to get it today. It is nasty and rusty and old lookin. I really like that in a van.
I am addicted to vans. I hope to turn this van into my art van called el malo a rat rod inspired van.
I brought this van into my life by watching too much "creep van"
The rims were really dirty but mothers brought them back to life.
Bear with me as I clean off 12 years of mold
Ill take some more unfiltered pics tomorrow bodywork and tune up
Inline 6
automatic
runs good
very rusty

Nice score MACE. Is it a slider or does it have bar doors on the side? Just curious because I'm looking for a cargo with side barn doors to replace my 81.

Darn! Oh well, there is bound to be another one between here and Florida (I hope). It's been tough finding a 150 with barn doors. I want windows in the side and rear doors, but no extra windows. Mileage, engine, etc. doesn't matter (prefer an automatic). I'm going to rebuild my 351W and swap the C6 for an AOD with shift kit. Basically, I am looking to taking all of the good stuff off of my rusty one and build a custom! Best of luck with your new old one and keep us posted!

Thanks Bro
It may be junk to some people but a crappy van is better than a car anyday in my eyes.
I hope to trade up for a mid ford or shorty again one day
Thanks for checkin it out, I will post some pics tomorrow if the crappy rattle can job looks ok...
