Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Readers Rides 1974 Tradesman B100

I am planning cloning it exactly the way it was. Green shag, everything. It’s gotta go back the way it once was. That’s the only way to fly.

Man, that lady won the most primo machine on the road back then! That’s amazing!

DONER Van is paid for and will e picked up at the end of the month, I have a lot to do in my garage to prepare for the surgery. Thicken you the beams, get a cable chain Crain’s and move a bunch of shit and get a few tools. I’m really stoked on this project. I haven’t lost any steam, just waiting in the Doner.

Can't wait for more pics.

Well, I got power to the van! I got the motor free and rotating, I posted a fun video on that…haven’t started it yet, still gotta get a cab and gas hooked up to it. Radio, 8 track, lights, ac fan, ALL WORKS! Can’t believe it. Not bad for sitting outside 30 years!

Cool im loving the look of that van . I found a place close by that sells 8 track tapes www.the8tracktapestore.com .

Appreciate the update/video. UNreal the 8-track works.

I know! I have a collection of them, I popped in the James gang rides again and it worked. I sent the lady a text and she couldn’t believe it, she said I haven’t seen lights or anything work on that van in decades. It’s gonna happen…stay tuned!

I appreciate the support. It helps, making the videos helps too. It’s fun and it keeps the motivation alive. I’m gonna see it through!

Such a Killer journey. You are saving a part of vanning history. Keep on Truck n' Brother. Your videos are good medicine.
