Column went to Mickey in CA, LOOKSLO got some parts, and I grabbed the bumpers (posted in my build thread I think), the rear pop-outs, and both bench seats (2nd is up for sale locally on FB). Seats both came with the belts, brackets, and bolts. Pop-outs came with all hardware and gaskets. Hinge screws were rusted in place, so the guy cut off the top parts of the doors and had everything ready and waiting when I got there. I'm just planning on using the seat so the kids have a place to ride until we get started on the rear interior. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 11,241 Likes: 411 Post Junkie | Post Junkie Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 11,241 Likes: 411 | That is so cool; dig the ashtrays on the arm rests. I'm so glad you scored so many pieces and that guy was more than fair. Those bumpers were a steal. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | That is so cool; dig the ashtrays on the arm rests.

Stoked because I already had a pair of pop-outs with black trim and these have the stainless or chrome trim. Going to take the pair and use the best parts to convert mine. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 95 Likes: 7 journeyman | journeyman Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 95 Likes: 7 | Getting real tired of this late winter weather. I'm ready to get the van shined up and hit the road. I'm making progress on getting the cruise control put back in. It'll be a bit of an experiment but I'm hopeful I can make it work.

But the guy never answered my inquiries.
Probably sold by now anyway. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | Not technically to my van, but I started stripping down the donor front clip I bought when I bought the QAR. I got most of the parts off of it, just have the heater core and a few little things, then I can get to work cutting the fenders off. Made decent progress on the garage this week, so of course I needed to fill it up with more sh!# I'll have more clip disassembly pics in my build thread and the "Chevy How To Dash" thread I've been working on. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Dec 2017 Posts: 494 Likes: 21 addict | addict Joined: Dec 2017 Posts: 494 Likes: 21 | I'm contemplating going on a bread & water diet so I can get a nice set of Wing Windows . Dude, as I suggested in your other post about this, go to a junkyard. You can check the inventory at the PYP yards in Chula Vista online but there's always more than what's listed. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Aug 2020 Posts: 15 stranger | stranger Joined: Aug 2020 Posts: 15 | Finally had some warmish weather to get out and mount some solar panels yesterday. Next up is cutting a big hole for a roof fan.
