I love these old vans. I know the drivetrain is going to a veteran, but hopefully they sell the rest instead of scrapping it. Myself, among other Japanese people adore old Ram vans, even racing them in a sport called Dajiban. They use the sheer weight of the van to turn it into a drift king. She's still got really good bones. She's a survivor, and doesn't deserve to go to the crusher. If it wasn't half-way across the country, I'd buy the rest myself. I know you can't save them all, but a rust-free Ram van is a unicorn, this one still has paint on the frame.

Thank you guys especially for every KZbinr out there like Chris fix and cars and cameras for teaching me through the past 3 years on KZbin how to work on cars with carbs and any mishmash of part imaginable 2 days ago I just started a revival of a 1980’s ford escort GL squire (unsure of year yet) and got it running after sitting for around 8 to 9years in our front yard so far I’ve gotten it to start and run. soon I will fill the tires and try and get it to move so I can drive/trailer it to my cousins and replace the fluids and find out why it’s not going past 2nd gear. If it weren’t for you guys and your channel I’d never had known how to get a ford with a carb to start or run or any old car for that matter but now it’s saved me money on finding a car for me to drive when I get my liscense this summer as a 17 year old and I cant thank you guys enough for posting your comedic, intriguing, and amazing spectacles to the human eye. I hope you guys continue down this road and keep fixing wonderful cars/trucks/and other mishmash of machines.

My mom's old '86 Ramcharger w/360 and a quadrajet would fire right up with a few pumps to activate the choke and it would crank right up...didn't even need a battery. Crazy stuff.
