Oh man Charlie ; you are the bomb. need to get home and check out the pics. As I shared with you on my "new" 1974 has a primo martin sun roof. My "first" had a Martin as well. I was blown away my current has the same model and looks new.

Just saw pics. Nice score. Where was the yard located ? I've never seen a Martin sun roof with one crank. Mine has two cranks like my first one back in the day. Those seats will definitely look very nice redone and I'm surprised you left the wing and visor on the dodge. Man you could open up a Stop & Swap Charlie ! smile

There's a 1965 Econoline short panel that was just released to Newark CA Pick N Pull on 1/7/21. I haven't visited as it is too far out of my way but it might be worth checking out for someone looking.

Charlie...looks like there are some great junk yards out where you are. Here they hardly ever have vans and they are all 2005 or newer (they are quick to crush everything....especially if it is over 20 years old). I would be in those yards all the time if they were near me!!!

Cali realized rust is as good as gold ... but once the yard is cleaned out by one of us .... Not to many old ones show up .

Pick N Pull has a website and inventory with pics for all of its yards. I check it from time to time and plan my trips.

From what I’ve seen, the yards in Los Angeles are insane. They get classics but they’re usually stripped within 48 hours.

Total shame because the Solar Scoop was rotted and cracked. Still pretty cool though.
