That is a lot of mass for that poor little 318! I bet the reason it seats seven is so that six can get out and push it uphills!

When I was but a wee bit of a lad I remember my mom test driving a short wheelbase black Chevy van. All my brother and sister and I kept talking about was how cool the inside was.... She did not happen to buy it though.

It is completely unmolested from 1979.

I wish someone would have:D
Every time I see a custom van I think of the tv show CHIPS.

guy at work ahs one that's even cooler than that one..
his is a 73 Dodge with plexiglass windows in the hood to show off the mighty stock 2 barrel 318. the interior is all shag front to rear, with an octagon wood steering wheel. there is a wooden gate inside the sliding door, and a fireplace (yes- a fireplace) in the back and 3 8track players. there are hexagon dome windows in the sides, and the front is all aerodynamic like the one on Craigslist. the N50's on all 4 of the Cragar SS wheels only stick about 3" past the wheel openings.
oh, yeah, it's sweet- and can be yours for $1500..

I always thought those old school vanners were after the short wheel base models.

Man, even once you work your way past the rear wheels, there's still a whole lotta van back there.

Sweeeet!
My grandpa had a van similar to that back in the 80's, his was much more sedate though.

It reminds me of those new Honda van commercials. They set it up a 70's vanner theme.

That brings me back to the day.....My father being an old carpet guy, always drove those 70's vans, we upholstered every bit of it with shag front to back.....
