    This video takes me back. In 1977 if bought a GMC Vandura. Carpeted the floors walls and ceiling. I put in a bed a sink, an Ice box and storage cabinets, a round window and a long whip CB antenna. My girl friend and I drove across the country and weekend trips. Had a lot of fun with it back then. Thanks for sharing.

      You and I are about the same age. I remember drooling over these machines! I was too young to drive, no money anyway, but I used to build the the model kits. Monogram, Revell, AMT. . . . I told my mom I was going to have a van like that when I grow up. She told me - by the time you are old enough, these vans will no longer be popular. She was right, and I have never obtained one. I still dream about it though!

    I had a ‘63 Econoline. Bright Canary Yellow with black pinstripes, Cragar five spoke Mags. Leopard skin Dash and headliner front to back.
    Had a 289 V8 shoehorned in between the seats. Headers and Thrush side pipes. That thing was great. I broke a lot of u-joints though.
    I couldn’t afford to upgrade the driveline. Had a Cadillac Stereo, with a power antenna in the right rear corner. I had a lot of fun in that thing.
    That was 1974.

I'm 37 years old now and I'm an auto technician. I wish I still had that van.

    Flashbacks a plenty here!
    My rig was a 72 ford van, called the Squires Den. Medieval themed…I built the Sliding door into a full hydraulic rammed fold down door (drawbridge) that gave me a great 4ft porch for two lawn chairs and a small table. Behind in the central area was a porta pottie set into and behind a 12v fireplace. Was fun in Christmas runs when a small tree and stocking hung lol. Eye openers.
    Using motorized curtain tracks I had a bar made into the ceiling to run from the back closet near the bed run to the front dog house with a six pack of cold cans, lol.

Its got the square headlights but I'm thinking the round headlights would look better on it. Very excited to get the Street Van build started!
