Custom Van Survivor Shag Chrome Side Pipes Fast Loud and Bad Ass

[@Roadghost88]

Of all the things I loved about those old Street Vans back then, I think the airbrush/hand painted paint jobs were the most fun. I saw everything from Lord of the Rings motifs, to Heavy Metal, to Country and Western "High Plains Drifter" and other gunfighter stuff. What a remarkable era. Nice to see some of it coming back.

[@gearjammer4779]

Im 56 and I remember those vans very well from the 70’s. I lived in Southern California right next to the 60 Freeway until 1976 and I always thought the Dodge vans were the coolest. Dig those sidepipes Man! I think they’re Far Out! Right On! ( Those were 70’s phrases. )

[@jay0726]

Class I love the 70

[@billbranch1403]

Love those old custom vans. My dad (R.I.P.) had one when I was a kid about 13 or 14 years old. He sold when u was about 17.. I’ve been searching for it since

[@hullinger]

Thanks for checking out my ride. She has been a whole lot of fun since getting her last year and adding the side pipes, wheels and tires and other bits to her. I'm always smiling when sitting behind the wheel!

[@siry0ggdstinguishdgent.680]

East Coast Classics ...i know the feeling....Vanners are a special breed...cut out of a different cloth!

[@11secghia]

yo van man your van if it has 5 lug its a half ton (the good one) they rated vans differently back then my pops had a tricked out ford that was technically a 3/4 ton but was advertised asa 1 ton?? and also either get a new wife that is a van believer or take your old lady camping and show her what those things were really for!:)

[@TheBlkac1]

East Coast Classics where did you buy the side pipes for your van?

[@mr.e1220]

I am looking at 1st generation 64 vans and found a Chevy g10, and a RARE Mercury Econoline made in Canada only. Both windowless. Would u get the rare Merc?

[@danielfreeman1043]

Nice! I live in Texas, could you tell more about the window ac that is in the door?

[@davidwilson7388]

My sister bought a 1976 B100 Tradesman new and semi-customized it. When she was done with it she gave it to my parents. It was in the family for 23 years. When it met its untimely death 23 years later it only had 100,000 miles on it. It was a beast to drive; three on the tree and no power steering but we loved that van.

[@andrewplantagenet5811]

It's my opinion that the Dodge Tradesman (and Plymouth Voyager) is the best looking van from the 1970's! Awesome van!

[@ricusserfontein1086]

Pure beauty . Ultimate 70s dream machine

[@Covert_Arrangements]

I absolutely love that style of Van! What an amazing vehicle to own. When I was a young boy I can remember a lot of folks in my area had cars with side pipes and custom vans much like this one. A custom van is on my list of vehicles to own one day. 🤠

[@VantasticTelevision]

Love it! The 51st Van Nats is in MA July 10-14 in case you've still got it! The fact I'm seeing this 8yrs after posted, the wife hating it comment has me wondering if the van is still in the family. Cheers!

[@JSUTI1995]

Very nice van ... love the custom vans from back then ... good times!

[@kiwivanman9035]

Im lucky my lady loves my van,, often travel together and play, love your van thanks for sharing,

[@jrzues]

Love it!!! I had a ‘78 Chevy shorty and traded it off, kicked myself a hundred times now that I’m older

[@philhoward8768]

I owned a 77 dodge van, and we had a blast in it. A lot of good times😁.

[@jefbarnhart3363]

Growing up my mom and dad had a 71 Dodge window van that was customized. My gramma had one like yours but it was green and a bubble window in the back.

[@bengilroy6539]

Awesome van and video dude. I'm in Birmingham England and i can only dream of owning and driving such a van on those kinda sunny and big open roads. So i thank you for the video, i felt cool for 5 and a half minutes and it took me back to when i was a kid watching 70s & 80s U.S. movies & tv shows.

[@hullinger]

Ben Gilroy So glad you liked my van and a big thanks for checking out my video. It’s amazing how KZbin brings folks together like this, regardless of where people are in the world. Again, thanks for checking her out. -Chris

[@bengilroy6539]

East Coast Classics You're absolutely right about youtube Chris. The closest i ever got to seeing pictures of vans and van life when i was younger was finding 2 TRAVELIN' VANS magazines dated September and December 1977 in a 2nd hand bookstore back in the 90s and i still have them now and cherish them to this day.

[@neiljordan8197]

Loved the 'tour' of the van. I had an orange one ordered in 1971 but never took delivery as I was in the AF and was sent to Germany. Always wanted one but never took the time to follow through. Love it

[@hullinger]

I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for the comment. You know, it's never too late to start looking for one again! They are still out there and some are in pretty decent shape.

[@michaelroecker2649]

Thank you 4 the test drive, thank the sidepipes 2.I usually don't get shotgun on these posts, awesome.

[@TheHermitHacker]

Man this is a sweet van. I am lucky, found a 79 Dodge B300 with a 360, 4bbl less than 20k, no rust. Sleeping for 20+ years under a carport. High top, long wheel base. None other I could find anywhere in US. Will be my home on wheels soon. Full restore and interior rebuild.

[@Road-Worthy]

"My wife HATEs this van" Lmfao

[@danielcarls]

Beautiful van. I have wanted one like that for years. I couldn't find one without a bunch of windows or even a short wheel base

[@imbluz]

Pretty van. Dodge had the best vans in the 70's.

[@hullinger]

Dodge vans are bad-ass and they ruled the van world, at least in the '70's!!! -Chris

[@imbluz]

My dad bought a 77' Ford Club Wagon brand new. We thought that thing was the bomb. But I like the styling of the Tradesman better.

[@huntinggeckos6808]

That's a bad-ass van! Dodge's rule the van world.

[@kendallsmith1458]

You did a good job cleaning the windshield

[@huf67]

3:23 ... The neighbors are selling their house because of the guy across the street with the creeper van 🤣

[@samhanna3106]

Wow that's a Kool van man! I had a 76 tradesman with 3 on the tree and all the windows. Wish I still had it. Yours looks great 👌 just needs the air brush picture on the side to get retro 😁

[@michaelroecker2649]

Your...your not even daydreaming about maybe a 360 and Tourqeflite....I would use one of those Van's on occasion, it was shorty panel.stock manifolds to cherry's with dumps.and that thing was an animal. Wicked tire smokingshriek that I made even my buddies jump back when I would "lean" it around the corner.

[@davidr4332]

Sound like your wife dose not want to feel like she 18yo again ......... Nice van .

[@MontanaFree]

My wife hates it too. Who cares what they think? It's super cool!

[@yescandles]

Wives always hate a man's toys.

[@jasonwilson8517]

yescandles hear that

[@edwardskaggs8746]

That's because she wants to be the toy...

[@brianrussell1565]

If she hates the van,time for her to leave

[@yournevergunnaknow5201]

1:55 that sounds real nice. I'm going to get one eventually.

[@rickolson-51]

Love those side pipes (Lakers)...I just bought a project F 150 that I'm lowering and want to put Lakers on, so I hope I can find a kit for it.

[@hullinger]

Good luck with your F150 project. Be sure to check out Jegs dot com for those Laker pipes.

[@teninchrichard4016]

Beautiful van!

[@bootmender]

Shagging Wagon, if it’s rocking don’t come knocking!

[@streetvan1997]

Omg I want this. Want a 70’s 150 dodge van with big V8 so bad

[@mikewasfaret9563]

nice clean understated van

[@leonardoaruca1]

That's a nice man running strong too remind me of my hippie days

[@hullinger]

Thanks for the comment and your time in commenting. This van is bad-ass and vans in general are really under appreciated. I think I was born a bit too early as I would have really enjoyed the wild parties and the whole vannin craze.

[@440hz7]

Happy van happy life!!!

[@BarryWilkinson]

You need a "if this van's a rockin don't come a knockin" sticker!

[@hullinger]

Barry, I like it. I did get the van 'a rockin' and it was pretty cool.

[@BarryWilkinson]

A beautiful van you have East Coast Classics keep on van-in!

[@bc2475]

Beautiful van.

[@55555711]

nice miss them 70;s van when they use to paint them up good

[@hullinger]

Thanks for checking out my video and for your comment. Yea man, that van and so many of the vans from that time were just bad ass. I'd like to get another one soon and enjoy the vanning life again. Thanks again. -Chris

[@scotthamm1585]

Nice ! One of my dreams is to have one like it !

[@jamespennington7668]

Man I love this van awesome job

[@red58fury]

Gorgeous van!

[@caddiman9834]

Awsome van brother. Building one of my own. 2000 Ford e150 convertion with queen bed in the rear and planning on side pipes like yours.

[@retroolschool]

Outta sight brotha!

[@hullinger]

Thanks for the comment and yea, she's bad ass.

[@victorbarker8086]

Nice work. This van is BADASS! My dad customized a B200 in 1977 and I have loved these things ever since. I had a 1976 B200 in high school in the 80's, and my uncle had a B200 1977 we customized also. If you ever want to sell it please let me know. Seriously.

[@hullinger]

Thanks for your comment. I have a real appreciation for the work done on some of these vans, from the wild interiors, cabinetry, paint and vision. They are all art work to me. If you want to see more of this great van and other cars, trucks and even some great burnouts, then check out the other videos in my channel at kzbin.info/door/wmsQuw9NHD-OlB3XoW14XQ

[@aceautoglass1]

That's one Badass van ya got there

[@hullinger]

There is nothing cooler than a bad ass Dodge van. I'm glad you like this one and thanks for checking out my video.

[@aceautoglass1]

I have always been a dodge fan and hope to one day be able to have a sweet ride like yours, but all the dodges I have or do own are work vans...lol

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Vannin !

[@joshuam579]

wow nice van sounds good I just got mine not to long ago, looks clean as hell

[@hullinger]

Hey man, thanks for checking out my video. Got any pics or video of your van? I'm actually looking for another as I have so many ideas that I want to build into the next one. Crazy stuff like light-up disco floor, faux fir instead of shag carpet, love beads.....

[@RoadhogRNA]

That’s a sweet ride man!!!

[@siry0ggdstinguishdgent.680]

Bro Vanner...she probably hates that you give more attention to your waggon than you do her..KEEP on vannin 😎

[@hullinger]

Hahaha. Yea man, you're probably right. Lot's of time cleaning those side pipes, rims and weirdly, vacuuming that shag!

[@thrillho7267]

This is what cool is folks.

[@hullinger]

Thanks man for checking out the Dodge van video from years past.

[@ZSharkPH]

Wow 71 and it survived? I've seen that grill used on newer models as a mod 👍

[@jasonmormando2570]

'My wife hates this van' is akin to your teenagers telling you they hate you. It's how you know you're doing it right!

[@louietheplumber3609]

Nice van sir

[@camelbreath3970]

Nice dude but mine was all black no back windows and I had tire extensions on the back !

[@DetroitLove4U]

Groovy van .... unload to great times and tell the oinkers to kiss off!!!!

[@joseescobedo546]

esa es mi van favorita esta muy chula

[@hullinger]

Muchas gracias!

[@seanoleary1979]

Sounds SWEET!

[@cosmicrophoneticino]

Beautifulllll

[@superusermode]

This van is in fantastic shape. Just watch the frame around the steering box, as they like to break there. You won't notice it at first, but the steering will get worse over time. There was a recall on these many years ago for this. If it does break, it can be fixed. Discussion on this: www.vanning.com/threads/ubbthreads.php/topics/87654/all/broken-frame-rail-blues

[@55555711]

that thing is so cool wish i kept my van i had think it was 75 van gold color

[@Fore-Four-Dee-Too]

Please share info for the side pipes and flares. Thanks!

[@keithsandidge5508]

Killer Van!

[@hullinger]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. You know, Dodge "B" vans rule the van kingdom! Plus they're just plain bad ass.

[@gtaylor1564]

Bad ass 👍👍🔥

[@randyjedneak8698]

Did u have use a lot of elbows to connect pipes

[@tom-lc9fm]

Where did you get your rear Grave-yard style running lights mate? They are amazing!

[@fredygonzalez6104]

Cool van bro

[@NomadXplorer]

[@hullinger]

+Josh Holland (Capitol State Nomad) Hey, thanks for checking out my van. She's bad-ass for sure.

[@Robert8455]

Damn son, she sounds good and looks great too. I'm pretty sure my wife would give me the thumbs down too ha ha! Keep on truck'n! Ass Gas or Grass man, nobody rides for free.

[@stevebauman69]

What are the side pipes ? Love them

[@abefrohman1759]

Sweet ride.

[@pjh5337]

"my wife hates this van" lol

[@dimuzioservices6107]

Cool. My wife hate my van too.

[@ayecaeanderson9112]

nice. I have a 78 my self

[@hullinger]

+AyeCae Anderson Dodge vans are just plain bad ass! I love the grills just as much on both the early and late model "B"' vans! Thanks for checking out my little presentation.

[@GaryYoung-eq1ph]

Side exhaust pipes creates a lot of grease on side of van

[@bluesharp59]

Nice and Liked !!!

[@Texas_Metal]

I would love to find an old van and travel the country

[@THEWHOLEWORLDLIESUN]

I see the speedometer is not working? Nice van man! Enjoy Rob

[@hullinger]

Good eye on seeing that the speed-o stopped working. It started making a really loud buzzing noise and so I unplugged it from the gauge. About a week after this video I put some graphite lube on the speed-o cable, hooked it back up and she was working again. -Chris

[@bradrichards6107]

I can hear foghat playing in the future.

[@deandrestewart5121]

Yo this is lovely

[@jamesmerritt4315]

reminds me hippie days right on

[@sherrigaskin5656]

Needs louvers on the back windows and ace the tire on the back and replace it with a ladder on the back pass door.

[@joshuam579]

hi again yes I do have pictures but she's still in the works literary got it a month now, since lost hrs on job she's on hold

[@hullinger]

I get it! I look forward to seeing what you've got.

[@kchilton24]

What size are your wheels? Did you have to use spacers?

[@jamesbond9873]

Love it!

[@jasonwilson8517]

have a 1987 ram 250 97000 miles got the same dream i do

[@hullinger]

All Dodge vans are bad ass! They rule the van world. You got a three-quarter ton too, huh. I'm surprised by how nice they ride even with that stiff suspension. Nice and pleasant and corners pretty flat too for being a tall brick.

[@TheLurker_696]

So rad

[@billbranch1403]

How much were the wheels and tires?

[@radstorm]

Beautiful :o)

[@PMGaming101]

hahahah kick ass bro I love it

[@hullinger]

+PMGaming101 Thanks for checking out my ride. I sold her this past Fall but I sure wish I had her back though. Gonna have to get another and really do her up right; shag, fur, love beads, bed, mirrored ceiling....

[@PaulyStax]

Awesome!

[@ratj4715]

How much was it and I can’t believe how clean it is. And yeah they are a blast to own

[@hullinger]

Hey man, thanks for checking out my Dodge van video. I paid $6500 for the van and added the wheels and tires, side pipes and rechromed front bumper. I think I had something like $8500 total into her.

[@ratj4715]

East Coast Classics That seems like a pretty good price to me it seems most that I seen wanted more money than that. You were well into your way for having a really sharp van. Unless something wasn’t showing up in video. Am sure is possible. You should’ve kept it I know I would’ve. I know what your saying about losing money on it if you kept up but sometimes you just got to enjoy life and not always worry about the money part of it. But than I know it easy for me to say.

[@ratj4715]

East Coast Classics by the way I pretty much had this van growing up but it was blue with a custom paint job on it that I paid 16 hundred for the paint and that was probably 35 yrs ago than rims and many more things and their was a lot done to it when I got it and maybe 50 thousand miles on it when I sold it. For 35 hundred dollars and that was a lot at the time and yeah I lost plenty. But it was really sharp looking van all kind of looks in it. Many van rallies in it what a blast that van was. Sold it and bought a GTX with a 440 in it. And put a lot of money into it almost broke even in the car. But I must say I miss that van the day I sold it and still do. What a blast it was. A wife can make it hard thought if not into it. When it comes to cash.

[@buffalohillbill7948]

I'd get in that van no candy

[@hullinger]

Haha! If a van pulled up near me that said "Free Tools" or "Free Car Parts", I'm hoping in!

[@grahamyates7]

Hey man having a hard time finding a dash kit online for a stereo upgrade on my 77 B100. Yours looks cool, where'd it come from?

[@hullinger]

Thanks for checking out my video. That stereo was in the van when I bought her. I probably wouldn't have installed it in the dash if it wasn't already in there. What I mean, and if I could make a recommendation, how about an overhead console instead of installing the stereo in the dash. If you don't have a radio in the dash now then you could use that hole from some gauges. If you already have a stock radio then consider an overhead console for the stereo, maybe an equalizer, some gauges, a bunch of switches and CB too. Expandable, you know. I've seen consoles made of plywood and hinged at the windshield so they pivot down. Just cover it with your favorite shag, fur, velour or whatever.
