I could also go for these steel wheels from Summit Racing that are MUCH cheaper.

That is funny that they call it Dajiban which is sorta a phonetic spelling of Dodge Van. In googling that I found this very cool trading card

Awesome wheelie van.

You know, nothing says predator like, ,"FREE CANDY," spray painted down the side....


Ha ha,
Looking good, hope you can take sad van humor.

Oh yeah, I have never worried about what people think or say, I used to drive a '58 Caddilac Hearse back in high school so I'm used to it. And no there will be no "Free Candy" painted on my van.

Just don't end up livin' in it. Down by the river.

 

[outskirtscustoms]

I don't plan on living in it, maybe camp out of it for a few days at a time on a fishing or hunting trip or just camping out with the fiance. Actually wouldn't be too bad, it's roomier than most NYC apartments.

 

[deorman]

Considerably cheaper as well.

IF you can find parking that is...

A plate that cool deserves to be seen. Although I bet he gets pulled over all the time.

All those nice American made vans, and then a foreign job...

I found a back seat for my van! It came out of my buddy's '78 Chevy pickup. Matches my front seats perfect and not a rip in it! He went with a black seat. Not the captain chairs I was after but it was free and matches what I got so it saves me money. Just needs a good clean up.

Let the haters hate. Mine's a '76 Dodge B200 with a 440. I've also been given massive amounts of grief, but the van is far too useful and utilitarian.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

I see you have your air-conditioning sorted too!

Luke.

 

[outskirtscustoms]

No, I'm just storing that in the van. I do have a gun rack for the rear window though. Nice '76 B-200 you got there. Mine's a 225 slant 6 so mine will do ok on fuel. That 440 has got to be a thirsty beast.

 

[TexasDart]

did it come stock with a 440...that must be pretty darn rare if it did.

It was a propane fleet van until the mid 80's. No cigarette lighter for obvious reasons. I don't have it that loaded, but it really hauls. It'll pass anything but a gas station.
