This is my '78 Chevy shorty van that I just bought, jet black, straight as an arrow, no rust. Currently has no engine or trans, but plan on putting one in within a month. Has 15x10 Cragar rims on the back, 15X8's in the front.
I am wanting to put sidepipes on it, but am not sure what length that I need for it, so any help on that would be appreciated.
I was a vanner back in the 70's so I guess that I am going to relive part of that...

Flares should fit 71-80something? Maybe a Chevy guy can verify!

Nice van, that wing is cool. If it was blue it'd look like the Acme Plumbing van from the movie "Gumbabll Rally".
