Definitely towered over everything else in the yard with that huge roof. Even the wheels were still on the ground, like it wanted to keep on going. Should've explored the inside of it more. 1982 Chevrolet G30 Camper by FordTorino73, on Flickr 1982 Chevrolet G30 Camper by FordTorino73, on Flickr 1982 Chevrolet G30 Camper by FordTorino73, on Flickr 1982 Chevrolet G30 Camper by FordTorino73, on Flickr 1982 Chevrolet G30 Camper by FordTorino73, on Flickr 1982 Chevrolet G30 Camper by FordTorino73, on Flickr 1982 Chevrolet G30 Camper by FordTorino73, on Flickr Some high top conversion vans Chevrolet G20 by FordTorino73, on Flickr Chevrolet G20 by FordTorino73, on Flickr Chevrolet G20 by FordTorino73, on Flickr Chevrolet G20 by FordTorino73, on Flickr 1990 GMC Vandura 2500 by FordTorino73, on Flickr | | | Re: Some Junkyard Finds | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 3,113 Likes: 2 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: May 2006 Posts: 3,113 Likes: 2 | i just went to the local yard yesterday. not much there but i like to browse the yards. | | | Re: Some Junkyard Finds | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 2 stranger | stranger Joined: May 2015 Posts: 2 |

I've often wondered how they fare in high winds and when turning compared to a regular van?

On a windy day I wouldn't drive it any faster than 55. It's a RV, when I am in it I am not in a hurry to get anywhere anyway.

I haven't seen any real custom vans in my junkyard since I bought my van, but I have found some great pieces today. This was a 1978 E150 in my local yard. I found two amazing seats in another 80's Econoline. The fabric and the vinyl was in fantastic shape. It was a well taken care of van. I found a sunroof in a early 80's Econoline also. I pulled it out. I am on the fence about selling it or keeping it for the van. It just needs a new gasket for the glass, but it should clean up very well. I also found a chrome KC light, two single post Econoline mirrors, some overhead lights, and a 70's/80's Sun vacuum gauge.

I wanted to pull more dome lights but most were kinda crummy. One van had some super cool after market speaker covers but were heavily stained from a wasp nest. That was a bummer.
