Right, where do I start ?

Referred here by HighwayStar who I know from www.67-72chevytrucks.com Thanks Pete

I have what may be a new, or interesting van for you guys.

Please click the link below for the full build thread.

I will post up some pics just to get you going.

These vans are quite rare in Europe, but in England, mine is the only one I know of that is on the road, I know of three other vans like this in the country.

It is/will be for sale, as we are looking for a 60-66 Chevy Short Fleetside C10 pickup to buy for the teardrop trailer.


My 1963 Ford Taunus Transit FK1250 German import ex-Fire tender.
It has now got an 1800cc Ford Zetec 16valve fuel injected engine.

I have spent too much money on this van over the years since 2007, but enjoyed it all.

Built a teardrop to tow behind it
