I'm not sure what happened but all my pics returned . Photobucket must have restored them for some reason. I just pulled the van out of storage last week got the wheels back on and we are just about ready for vanfest

I love that you enter your van in car shows. Two weeks ago I took my '75 Ford shorty to the local monthly cars and coffee (mostly Porsche, Jags, antiques) and nobody stopped to check it out or even comment. You know I'll be there next month.

I took my '84 to the local C&C and about 15 people stopped to watch me drive in. I got a very "Why is that here" vibe from their faces. haha

I think I got it figured out
Here are a few from a wedding I had the pleasure of escorting the brides maids in my van

I was cruising down the highway and out of nowhere the rear locked up solid. I thought I was gonna die, But managed to keep it in the lines and not get rear ended LUCKY!! I skidded for a long wile and was able to get it sorta to side of the road. This was on a busy stretch and I think I was more worried for my life sitting there whith hardly enough room for two vehicles to get by with me half in the lane. Transports were blowing their horns and running by in the gravel. Man I was so sure that I was gonna get hit I got out and stood in the ditch till the tow truck arrived and even then the cars and trucks were narrowly making it by. I finally got the van to my shop and thought to myself that I was pretty lucky to have only broke the rear end and flat spotting the tires!

The pinion bearing seized, I found a junckyard rear and swapped my brakes and cover onto it slammed a quick paint job on it.
