Very cool van! Now that you know it's origin focus on the owners and the events it went to, that's the true history of this van, along with its new history that you will enjoy.

Very cool thread on a very cool van! If you ever think of selling it, please post it here! I don't recall ever seeing this van personally in the past 37 years of vanning; would've remembered this one!
It's refreshing and exciting to hear of so much work going into researching the history of a van that was at one time built to be a part of our 'Vanning' lifestyle.
And, as a few vans here and there have come back to Vanning, would love to see this one do so also.
Good luck on your research and any restoration you have planned.
Please continue to keep us updated!

i, sorry to jump on some one else's feed, butdo you happen to know anything about Gulf Stream doing conversion vans, i'm in England and recently picked up a '92 G20 high top van with Gulf Stream badging and production I.D. sticker, but I can't seem to find any records of them doing vans, class B campers, but no vans.
Also it has a Transcar 2000 body kit on it which seems to be a mainland Europe thing, they seem to do full van conversions, but all the info I can find on them seems to be in German.
thanks for any help you can provide, would add pictures, but I'm not that clever.

I painted the van for US Conversions in the 70's. I used to work for Ron Lamb, but he had no actual part in painting the Amazon van. Love the guy. R.I.P. Ron!

You can view some misc. shots of the van as it looked during and right after painting it here: http://martyfriend.com/artwork-gallery-custom-painting/
