Hi SDMIcky, can email you the pictures and you could post them here for me, not smart enough to post them here my self, I AM A OLD VANNER, (smile) Sammy, TIM
I'm about two hours away from Sammy (Tim). Never met him, but if anyone is seriously interested in his van, I could see if he'd meet me halfway so I could look it over for the potential buyer. (I have a long story to tell about trusting a member here selling a van ).

Thanks Oldskool73 for posting the pictures for me, Sammy, Tim Maybe you could post your story on this website, about a member that did you wrong, might help save someone else from what ever happend to you, Thanks again for putting the pictures up for me.
Sorry for the lag. Work crazy. Sammy ; sorry for your loss.
The van looks nice and oldskool73; you're a solid guy. Man this looks great and "Not" a cali price. Of course being an 1986 and engine swap' no doubt a smog nightmare trying to get it registered out here. This so bums me out when I see a post 1975 knowing the CA Smog requirements.
It should sell quick. Nice work Sammy.

No problem Tim. I'm just trying to display the type of camaraderie that I used to enjoy in vanner circles and expected when I purchased a van from a member here. Let me know if you would like to meet up.
