I'll post up some pics when the weather gets better and the snow melts away. Its not much to look at now, but it has 305 V8. For now. I'm kinda in thoughts about building me another stump-pullin' 383 stroker like the one i had in my Apache.

Only time will tell.

Glad to be back man.

As a matter of fact, i have 2 pics of it. Its the one that the Stealer used on CL.





NOw i have been doing some work on it already. Since most of you know that i am kinda handy with a scroll saw, i made me a drink tray for the dog house. I also made a dash plaque for it. We named the van Turtle Express. She might not be the fastest, but it will get you there on time. I also pulled the radio from the Monte and installed it in the van.



And you guys know i can leave well enough alone. I changes all the lights on my dash to LEDs and installed my steering wheel. I've had it for over 14 yrs.




Those are all the pics i have for now. Like i said, once the weather gets better, i will wash it and takes more pics.

thats a nice van you got yourself, JJ. most of the older chevy vans are run into the ground. IMO it could use a tube grille, some sidepipes, a set of mags..... oohh and it needs a BIG vinal decal mural sorta like what your monte had on the hood only down over the side windows

can ya tell i've been going through my dad's collection of 70's Hot Rod magazines with the custom van issues?


oh, man i gotta be on a roll today, a running driving inspected '72 monte for $1500
now all i need is $3000, lol

I have a few plans for the van. I grew up reading the same books your Dad did.
