I got up early and went to the salvage yard with my son to scout around interiors. Then over to Bandvan's to load the old girl and bring her home. You gotta love a good look at a big rear end! Not entirely sure we were street legal (no turn signals) Lots of looks on the way over and we made so much noise the neighbor behind us came over to see Huge thanks to Bandvan for letting her go and helping out!

This Dodge was like my 5th van. Many have come and gone in my collection since then. Had a Grey chevy pretty Identical to my Black one shown here. Also still have my lifted white 4x4 Econoline currently being reworked. I always like having a choice of what to drive to a truck-in.
BBlintpicker you dont have to thank me, I should thank you for helping thin my herd and providing crucial funding for the 4x4 Econoline project. Everybody wins, everybody's excited. Im just happy its in a garage and will be the basis for an excellent father/son project.
I say you paint it white, add Maytag logos and call it "The Lint Trap" ....but Im full of crazy ideas.

First I'm going to focus on the things that are going to keep me off the road. I was going to get inspected just to get a list of things I need to do but some of it is just obvious. VT Inspection: http://dmv.vermont.gov/safety/detailedinformationLooking her over today I think I need to do the following: Coolant Leak - hose busted yesterday Carb adjustment - not sure need to play with it Seats/ Seatbelts Interior rearview mirror Windshield Cracked Exhaust leaking Rear Corner Panel replaced - I might do temp patch just to get plates Back Door Pins - Just cause its going to bother me

I thought this was one that you had and sold, then bought back, but things get hazy when intrybto remember stuff from long(er) ago... I remember the gray one that you had a build on here for - that was a nice one, and I do remember your white Econoline...
This is a nice looking Dodge - but yeah, make it right with the law first so you can enjoy it when the time comes...! | | | Re: Bblintpicker's 77 Dodge B200 Shorty | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 1,404 old hand | old hand Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 1,404 | That is a nice looking dodge. A father and son Project is awesome. Enjoy.
