At the Mopar show in Carlisle a few years ago, a vendor had a NOS 1980 Street Van kit for sale. He wanted $75 for it...I should have bought it.

When I first got the 77 I assumed it was a street van because of the wood trim, chrome, etc. Somebody had a Street Van logo at a truckin last year but the mounts for the logo don't line up with the holes in the van. Can't wait to check for this ID tag and find out for sure.

Here's some info from Wikipedia for the Street Van. Check out the web page. There's alot of other info

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram_Van

Dodge vans, particularly 'Tradesman' vans from the 1971-1977 model years, were very popular as the basis for many custom vans during the custom van craze that occurred during the mid to late 70s and early 80s. Dodge capitalized on this craze, creating a factory customization package called the "Street Van" package. This was advertised alongside the Lil' Red Express and Warlock trucks as "Adult Toys". The Street Van package consisted of a "Street Van" logo on the passenger and driver's side door in lieu of the Tradesman logos, chrome trim on the grille and windshield, simulated wood grain inlays in the steering wheel horn cover and passenger side glare shield, 5 slot chrome rims or white spoked "off-road" type rims, chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome trim on the gauges, smaller chrome side view mirrors, patterns and plans to create custom interiors, and membership in the "Dodge Van Clan". This package was available from the 1976 model year until it was discontinued in the early 80s. This was not an overly-popular option from the factory, and Street Vans are somewhat rare. The chrome metal Street Van emblems found on later Street Vans (emblems through mid-1978 were stickers) in good shape are quite valuable to collectors or restorers

Thing is...the equipment that came standard on the Street Van package was available as optional on any regular old Tradesman.

My new van has the YH3 code. But it never had the decals on it. Still showing all its original paint. But it does have all the other stuff the Street van was supposed to have.

There were zero suspension mods on Street Vans. Not even a sway bar.
The Big Deal about the Street Van pkg was the patterns for the interior.
Many guys wanted to buy patterns for their van interiors back then and you still see postings now where they want to buy patterns for their dodge, chevy or ford.
We just got our tape measures, t-squares and jigsaws and went at it.
Its as complicated as you make it !
