the van



My old man bought this van new back in 1978, bare bones, he carpet kitted the inside, fender flares, keystone raiders, wood burnt with a propane torch running boards, sunroof and mushroom window, hooker headers, cb radio, bed in the back, carpet everywhere, this baby was really happening.

We drove from upstate New York to California in this baby, back to New York and ultimately back to san diego in the early 80's. He lost the van to his second wife along with a hair dryer in that divorce. I'm always looking for the right canidate to recreate this piece of my childhood, soon I think, very soon.
