O.K. I’ll admit it, I got caught up in the van craze.
Had a custom ’66 SWB Chevy Van in the mid 70’s which I traded in on my first new vehicle, a ’77 Chevy SWB Van, paid $5600, brand spanking new.
I put a ton of money into this truck; shaved body, molded flares and hood scoop, custom flamed paint job, custom interior, might be able to dig up some pics, but don’t know if they will scan good enough to see.
I worked for a van conversion outfit with five other guys at the time.
This was during the start of the gas crunch, and motorhome owners were trading in their rigs for custom vans. We were doing complete brand new custom vans, installing windows, raised roofs, wheels/tires, interiors, custom paint, etc. at a rate of about 2 per month; we made a ton of dough.
Even was a member of a van club with about 12 members, we would take road trips together, talking back and forth on CB radios. Actually had a lot of fun, and needles to say, these rolling bordellos were chick magnets!
YOU asked……….!
