Fresh paint on the rims (I had a couple 7" wide rims to match on my shelf) and it has a whole different attitude. So, now I have 275/60-15 rear, and 235/75-15 front.

I think the black with white lettering also would look good

Went to Baker's gathering of the earlies, and another vanner was really interested in the 83. So interesed that he offered me over three times what I paid for it (And I had already told him what I paid.) He's been trying to find a decent 3rd gen for a while, and I took his number while I think it over.
Here's the tough part:
I had planned to take this van to the Nats.
If I buy tires and maybe some Lucas trans stop leak will slow down the front seal leak enough, I could take my 86 Dodge.
I also was looking forward to doing a quick fix up on this van.
Decisions, decisions.....

Flip it and get another van with money to spare for the fix up budget.

If I have the same brand all the way around, white letters out.
Mixed brands, black wall out.

If that's what you really want to build...and being into right financially...I think about sticking. | | |
