Puddin I’m a 62-year-old woman and I think that van is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Wait let me couch that, of course, my first choice will always be the 1960s Ford Econoline pick up truck. But that what you got so freaking clean! Is my number #2. congratulations!

[@lanniehodges4507]

Your van was made from 1964-66. The taillights were the same as 60-66 Chevy fleetside pickups. That’s why they read 60. The front turn signals are the same as 1955-57 Chevrolet pickup front turn signals. The dash is the same as a corvair60-64. In 1967 the changed the nose and dash. The also made the dog house wider under the seats to put in the v8. 64-66 vans had 6 cylinder. I’m not certain about the 4 cylinder. In the 70s I put in a v8 and I had to build 4-6 wide boxes on each side of the dog house. I also used a hydraulic gas pedal.

In 1974-75, My brother had a gray '67 with black primer coat from the doors back. Inside , he primered with white,then he took some fish netting and then spray painted sky blue over it.When he took away the netting, the design was painted on the inside of the doors and dash. He use to keep sticks of incense on the visor. I can almost smell that van now. Thanks for a great flash back.

I myself just got a 1993 GMC rally van. We payed $800 for it, it needed a good amount of work but drives Awsome. While we were cleaning the inside of it out, we found $1000 cash in the owners manual. God is good

[@mjc8248]

We had a black ’66 that used to be a drag racer. We used it to test and break in engines in the ’80s and ’90s. We removed the back doors and welded an I-beam to the roof inside. We hung a chain hoist from it so we could lift an engine and slide it inside to drop it in the hole. It made a perfect engine run stand.

[@surfer5352]

I can't believe you think people aren't going to be excited for this build! This will be fun and you found a great set of bones to build on. I for one, cannot wait to see this being built! Thanks for another awesome build Puddin (and crew)!!

[@garthp9874]

That van is great! I love the wood bumper. Reminds me of back in 75 when I was in a carpenter apprenticeship school and one of the guys had lost his front bumper and made a new bumper out of straight grained oak. He took a lot of pride in it. He had some curves in it and routed it to look what he thought as really cool. Hard times back then. I eventually kept my factory job and gave up on the apprenticeship because no one was working as a carpenter back then. I went to college for a while but it was hard going to school during the day and working all night. You do have to sleep sometime. I eventually got an electrical apprenticeship with my factory job. Just retired from my factory job after 50 years. Uncle Henry was very good to me. Glad I stayed.

I’m a v8 guy so that be my choice for a drivetrain but as someone else suggested the Vortec 4200 straight 6 would be a great option. (As long as you turbo it) 🙃 Also I vote on bagging it!

[@tildenharper]

Totally get Calvin from @nivlac57 to help with the engine build

[@cheekkeith74]

I'd put one of the later model Chevy 4200 inline 6's in that. They have great power and would probably sit in that real nice.

[@Memry-dq7ug]

I thought about that too, it was actually the first thing that came to mind. Personally I’d still rather have a v8 but a 4200 would be an excellent option (especially if it has a big ol’ turbo). 😬

Puddin’ , this is my Favorite Van ever…!!! We restored and Kustomized many 60’s vans ( Dodges, Ford Econolines) But my friend had a Chevy like that and we did it up right … From much conversion experience , go easy on the interior , plywood , etc. Many times the conversions pushed the GVW limit …. ( half ton eh ) and the usual 6 cylinders were bogged down with the extra weight ( doggy ) … Our final effort was painted nicely in the interior , with just some nice carpet remnants on the floor ( cheap) … with the Light weight really it zipped around , and could be used for anything … carrying or marrying … Love the Van , Love the show … and please be Careful !!!

[@aliasfred]

If you live in the snow belt like me, My '66 A-100 Dodge van was so light in the back, I swapped the rear bumper for a railroad tie, to keep it from getting stuck on top of the snow. Mine had absolutely no rust, it was a California utility van, that was used for hauling surf boards.

Hey Puddin! I bought one of those vans in Kansas City in 1983, and drove it all the way to Maine and back. I used it working for a garage door company, hauled all my tools, parts, garage doors and openers. I loved that van! We had just one kid at the time, so we bolted a carseat to the doghouse, where he could sit between Mom and Dad. The shift linkage was a little worn out, but it ran like a top! Someone had replaced the shift knob with a piece of an antler. I wish I had it now!

[@lanniehodges4507]

I had the same van in 1973 when I was 18. I put on fact wheels red shag carpet on the floor and on the box I built in the back for a bed. My father helped me put in wood paneling on the ceiling and walls. This is when the vans were highly desirable and very popular. Mine was white. I traded it 6 months later for a 210 57 2dr with solid strait axel for that gasser look.?I wished I could have kept them both. Oh well marriage and four kids later! That’s life!

Most of the sixties vans were sixes with 3 speeds. In the later 60s they started to offer small blocks in them. In the early 70s vans got bigger and more of them came with small blocks. Yours looks real solid metal wise. Good luck finding everything for it.
