Actually joined about 3 years ago when I picked up a 68 Chevy sport van with high hopes of bringing it back to life but soon realized that lack of donor parts or aftermarket parts just didn't exist. ( serious rust issues)
On a brighter note I just found a 1987 dodge panel van that I'm picking up
Saturday.
Looking forward to getting back into the lifestyle.
I owned a 72 Ford panel from my mid teens to my late 20's and those were some of the greatest times in my life.
I'm in the south Alabama northwest Florida area and would like to see if there are other members near my area.
Thanks for having such a great site here , it's kept my hopes up for getting another van.

Thanks, I would like to make the run to vanarama south in November but not sure if I'll have it road worthy by then but high hopes.
I bought it from a rod shop that was using as a parts runner so hopefully I can service it and run over everything in a couple weekends.

Got her home, a couple adjustment on the shift linkage and she's running and driving pretty good. There is a vibration in the drive shaft and upon inspection it appears to have new u-joints and the shaft isn't bent but it has a lot of weights on it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
