For some reason, I never took a lot of pics of my own vans. If anyone has pics of my first three vans I'd love to see them! My first van I begged and pleaded my parents to loan me the money to buy this '66 Dodge A-100 shorty. I was 17 and vanning was gathering momentum. This is how it looked after I saved up to have it repainted and got decent wheels for it. I loved this van. The color, the body style, the "attitude" everything. It's the blue one in the pics. ![[Linked Image]](https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/dodgevanner/STV74.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/dodgevanner/66Dodge.jpg) After a few years, I had to get rid of my '66. Besides terminal cancer, the steering box was breaking loose. I didn't have the funds to keep putting money into a van just to keep it running. I needed something dependable. My second van I bought in New Jersey in '76 at Dodgeland. I had seen an ad in Truckin magazine about how they had a huge selection so my wife and I rode down with my parents on a Saturday , picked out our next van, and drove it back the next day! Another shorty. ![[Linked Image]](https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/dodgevanner/76Dodge.jpg) My third van, I bought in the early 80's because I craved a radical van and was too impatient and too poor to build one myself. I saw this one for sale at a van-in, struck a deal and rode a bus out to Conn. to pick it up. It had a side gull wing, no back doors, cougar tail lights, 3/4 raised roof, 400 cu. in. motor, full murals, and a bunch of other stuff. But it was well used and I dumped a ton of money into it before I got tired of it and sold it. ![[Linked Image]](https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/dodgevanner/77Dodge.jpg) My fourth and present van I ordered new in '92 and is my favorite ride. But someday I'll be getting another A-100 to cruise in. ![[Linked Image]](https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/dodgevanner/HPIM0123_053.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/dodgevanner/HPIM0125_055.jpg)

My first van, was not very picture worthy. I bought it in 1995 after upgrading from a VW Rabbit. I always wanted a van, and bought the first one I found. It was a 81 Dodge w/ a slanty six. Pretty much drove it into the ground. I then found the one I currently own and bought it for 500 bucks. It looked like this more or less: ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/cookiemonster24/Van%20Photos/oldvan2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/cookiemonster24/Van%20Photos/oldvan1.jpg) Not too pretty. This is much better: ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/cookiemonster24/Van%20Photos/54c44272.jpg) I am currently on my 3rd van. A 1998 conversion. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/cookiemonster24/Van%20Photos/98Dodge.jpg)

I'm missing at least one van here. Here are three of them and you know my current one is in signature. Gup My first van was an early I got in '94. A '67 that I dug out of 6 inches of mud after sitting for years. It resides in Pittsburgh now and looks good. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/GupEBoy/First67A100.jpg) I picked this one up in Decatur Il. in '98. It's an '85. Not sure where it is now. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/GupEBoy/DCP01993.jpg) My second '67. I flew to San Antonio in 2003 and picked it up from Starlord. What a drive back to Philly. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/GupEBoy/DCP03317.jpg) | | |
