*awesome98* · 04-13-2009, 11:36 PM

I had an 85 Ford Cargo van in highschool.It was rusted out but had an awesome system and a matress,and a sticker on the back that said,"Don't laugh,your daughter might be in here."

**special-K** · 04-14-2009, 08:49 AM

Ellen!!!In the back!!!???

Or,did you say on your back?

Ever see one with a waterbed?black lights?I was a hippy.I had a`66 VW Bus.It was the only baja bus I saw

.Saved me alot on gas roving around the country...including baja!!!

OARNGESI · 04-18-2009, 01:32 AM

**special-K** · 04-28-2009, 08:31 AM

Remember Pickups & Vans in Print magazine?Or was it Pickups Vans & 4wds?I think I remember PV4 as their logo.It had it all,including mini-trucks.That was before the big explosion into commercial vehicles.Now there`s umpteen different mags to cover it all...except vans?I think?Heck,we grew up and started hauling our kids in Leisure Vans.Not me,I got a Blazer.But,I wanted to do up a Van...`70s style,of course

**special-K** · 05-09-2009, 03:36 PM

Another:

**leddzepp** · 05-09-2009, 04:01 PM

My neighbor had a 70's van, with a mural of a virgin being sacrificed to an Aztec god painted on the side.

Another dude across town had a mural on his van with Princess Lea flanked by Han Solo and Luke Skywalker shirtless on either side of her ( I think he painted over Luke when Return of the Jedi came out

)

**FleetsidePaul** · 05-09-2009, 04:43 PM

Remember the "If this van's a rockin dont bother knockin" stickers too.

**special-K** · 05-10-2009, 06:36 AM

Yeah Paul,lol.How about,"Don`t laugh,your daughter may be inside"?

I didn`t make the grade with the vanners.I had a `66 VW bus.But,in my mind it was a van.I called it my Baja Bus.It was more at home as a wilderness camper than it was a Blvd cruiser.yet,I took it crosscountry (yes,even down to La Paz),up and down both coasts,with alot of zig-zaggin` between.It was my surf,ski,kayak,rock climb,adventure machine.I believe there may have been some partying in there,too.I really don`t recall.

**special-K** · 05-16-2009, 04:22 PM

Uhhh....yeah?

ratpackv8sonly · 05-16-2009, 05:03 PM

Been after one of those KISS vans for awhile now. Just cant seem to win one. O-well some day.

**special-K** · 05-16-2009, 08:52 PM

I just grabbed that picture off Ebay today or last night.Check it out!

70k52wd · 05-16-2009, 09:09 PM

I remember one of the many custom vans in my neighborhood. It had zoomie pipes, and the spark plug thing for throwing flames. What good times. I like the vans with a motor as a center console.

I'm kind of surprised there aren't vanners out there. I'd love to see a seventies shorty Chev layed out.

72 CustomCamper · 05-16-2009, 10:37 PM

A good friend of mine wanted to do a 70's style van using an Astro van...

**special-K** · 05-17-2009, 08:33 AM

It`s time for a comeback.
