It's very odd they only made them in South America, maybe they couldn't import the vans down there for some reason. | | | Re: Van Definitions | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | or maybe there was something about them that didn't meet us safety codes. 90 Astro - "The Grey Ghost" - Haulin Ass, Not kids.E-Z Vanners and West Vanners Council of Councils Board Member National Truck-in Board Support Team "No matter where you go, there you are."

I wanted a full size 'Excursion' type truck from Dodge years ago. They built one in S.A. but you couldn't get one here because of that. | | | Re: Van Definitions | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 642 addict | addict Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 642 | They also made them with windows. Here is what the rear doors looked like. I think they may have also made them with split rear doors that lifted up and dropped down. How about a four door Bronco,the Suburban Ford never made.They would have needed to clean the lines up. They also made them with a small box in back. | | | Re: Van Definitions | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 6,266 Vanner Extraordinaire | OP Vanner Extraordinaire Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 6,266 | Cool Panel trucks. If someone were to import one and show up with it, I'd say we would let them in. The 4 door version in the other pic, no. I have seen those a few times here. They are just extended Broncos, basically. In Australia, the "vans" resemble pinto panels from the 70s. They are vans by their definition, and there was even one at the Anaheim c of c. When we were in the Bahamas on the vanner cruise, we saw all sorts of oddball vans. There are lots of them out there that we never see. Like I said earlier, there has not been a panel truck sold in the US since 1972, until the HHR. There are, obviously, panels newer than that in other parts of the world!

(little foreign truck-isuzu?) they added seats to that to make it a passenger car.
If you are going to be a bum, you may as well be their king.
