God help you on figuring out the accessories wiring on that van, i was a ase tech at a gm dealership back in the early 90s when conversion vans were at their heyday, and the brand new ones we got in were plagued with wiring problems. We contacted the conversion company to get wiring diagrams and component layout, apparently their wiring was a "suggestion" and the assembly line builders did the wiring at their discretion, meaning the conversion company didnt care how they were wired, as long as everything worked, so each van was wired differently.

I don't know why I initially passed on watching this when it first dropped... I Lie... On some other channel a video was put up just to have something up and it really was a biy of a snore bore. So I kind of thought that this upload might also be just a, "PBG needs to put up content or (?)" Well I was pleasantly dumb founded, of course the crew led by Dal'un ALWAYS entertains. That LTD is precious. I understand the sad reality of parts on such a vintage car snapping in frozen temps, but the tenacity and logic of a 'Pole Barn' mechanic pulls through, good job on that switch. Now if only I could get Dal'un to stop by and get my blend door actuators R 'n R'd on my 2013 Cry'shitler 200. I can't help but expect the table stanchion/pole has rusted to the floor base, but heck now you can advertise owning a 'Pole Van Motel' and at least you're not going to be rolling out of bed without alot of effort, best wishes for using the laundry list of explicatives each time you come up against that cold metal pole with bare skin.

[@TheRegret]

weirdly some of the neatest work i've seen done on this channel. i know it's things you actually care about so you put the extra care in, but it's nice to see something come out and go back in, in the same condition or better than it was originially. personally i would've made that table slightly bigger so you can actually have 2 people eating on it but idk where i would put it when the futon folds out. so maybe size compromise and you eat on your lap is ok. removable cupholders also double as ashtrays you can empty so that's nice too. try not to set fire to the shag carpeting.

[@KiwiStag74]

Man, I love that LTD. She's so original (as in unmolested by multiple owners) and clean underneath. Glad you are able to give her the exercise she needs as a daily so it will keep her good for years to come. I'm not a Ford bloke by any stretch, but I can sure appreciate (and drool over) a beautifully kept classic as good as the nest bloke! Great lights, but I looked them up and at $193 from Holley - EACH!! - I think I'll be waiting a while before I get myself a set. The Boogie Van is one cool ride, man. Even better now it has a couple of your old shirts as its curtains and a bespoke designer original rear seat cover. I used to have an electric tach back in the 80s as well. Unfortunately the car I last had it in had a leaky windscreen and the electronics took exception to being flooded multiple times and threw in the towel.....but it was great while it worked. Bloody slow response (like it updated itself every half second or so), so no good to watch for the rev limit when you were accelerating off the line, but it was great when cruising along. Haven't seen one in about 30 years, so seeing yours was a flash back in time for me. Yeah, they did have a 4-6-8 cylinder switch underneath (well, mine did anyway), so you might be able to unscrew it and see what its set to. Love the little table you added and as a quick thought, my Dad fitted something similar to our van back in the day. How he did the pole was to have a 3" piece of exhaust pipe that was a tight fit around the main pole welded and braced to the floor with the top of the pipe at floor level so you didn't trip on it. He capped the bottom so the table pole would not fall through and then we could put the table and pole in when needed or take it out and tuck it under the bed when we wanted to sleep. That would solve that little problem for you I think. All the best

Hey, dont knock woodworking with a Sawzall! Before our family Christmas, I FINALLY fixed and trimmed all the baseboard molding in our bathroom with a Harbor Freight sawzall, as well as cutting some new molding for part of the kitchen! Definitely needed some finishing with the belt sander, but hey, it worked. Also, next time you need to seal something on the roof or something like that, roofing & flashing glue/sealant works WONDERS for automotive applications. My friend and I replaced his windshield years ago with that because it was like $5 versus a $35 tube of 3M Window Weld. 😂 It worked perfectly for years without a leak, and dries flexible but very rigid.
