My oldest brother bought a new white Dodge Tradesman 318 in '74. I was 12 years old & worked with him customizing it, parkway windows, Craig 8 track quad stereo, CB with a whip antenna, slotted aluminum mags, green shag, icebox, fake polar bear fur headliner, paneling on the walls. So much more.. Great hobby & fun I had working with big brother as a kid..Love them Dodge vans. Great video nice van you got there..✅

Great van, great video. Thanks Wes, always nice to be reminded that the struggle to rebuild one of these old machines is not unique.

[@mythreeandonehalfvans]

I was thinking about building one for fun. I just have to find a van and parts to do it.

[@loydhicks3413]

Out of curiosity when ur 318 I'd at normal operating Temps with engine idling in gear how many pds oil pressure does your van engine hold and what is it cold start at idle in gear before it reached normal operating temperature

[@wesmc1067]

Usually the Gage reads high when cold and drops as it warms up.

[@100aceswid]

Gotta have Mopar!

[@tebori_estudio7875]

Hola saludos

[@nygq72]

How many of these family wagons were produced?

[@joeymack63]

hello i have a 1987 dodge van b250 301 5.2 lt high top black and sivler how do i find van shows coming up? i could never find the show near me at least. i love my van wife always telling me to get ride of it

[@kendallsmith1458]

Florida Van Council keeps a list on their website

[@Handcraftedrock]

It is beautiful. But I hope you install headrests when you drive. Everybody these days is texting when driving or playing with multimedia screens. You will get a whiplash when someone rear-ends you.

[@privateprivate1865]

If i had a 79 and later short nose b series van, id go all the way and swap the nose with a 71-78 nose. I know it woukd require a lot of fabrication, but i dont care. Its not impossible.

[@jimkoval4725]

He never mentions the fact that his van has "8 doors". Maybe he does not know how rare this is on a Mid Dodge van. I have only ever seen pics of one other.

[@loydhicks3413]
