Custom Van Survivor Shag Chrome Side Pipes Fast Loud and Bad Ass 

Class I love the 70

East Coast Classics ...i know the feeling....Vanners are a special breed...cut out of a different cloth!

yo van man your van if it has 5 lug its a half ton (the good one) they rated vans differently back then my pops had a tricked out ford that was technically a 3/4 ton but was advertised asa 1 ton?? and also either get a new wife that is a van believer or take your old lady camping and show her what those things were really for!:)

East Coast Classics where did you buy the side pipes for your van?

I am looking at 1st generation 64 vans and found a Chevy g10, and a RARE Mercury Econoline made in Canada only. Both windowless. Would u get the rare Merc?

Nice! I live in Texas, could you tell more about the window ac that is in the door?

yescandles hear that

That's because she wants to be the toy...

If she hates the van,time for her to leave

Ben Gilroy So glad you liked my van and a big thanks for checking out my video. It’s amazing how RU-vid brings folks together like this, regardless of where people are in the world. Again, thanks for checking her out. -Chris

East Coast Classics You're absolutely right about youtube Chris. The closest i ever got to seeing pictures of vans and van life when i was younger was finding 2 TRAVELIN' VANS magazines dated September and December 1977 in a 2nd hand bookstore back in the 90s and i still have them now and cherish them to this day.

I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for the comment. You know, it's never too late to start looking for one again! They are still out there and some are in pretty decent shape.

Dodge vans are bad-ass and they ruled the van world, at least in the '70's!!! -Chris

My dad bought a 77' Ford Club Wagon brand new. We thought that thing was the bomb. But I like the styling of the Tradesman better.

Your...your not even daydreaming about maybe a 360 and Tourqeflite....I would use one of those Van's on occasion, it was shorty panel.stock manifolds to cherry's with dumps.and that thing was an animal. Wicked tire smokingshriek that I made even my buddies jump back when I would "lean" it around the corner.

Thanks man for checking out the Dodge van video from years past.

Barry, I like it. I did get the van 'a rockin' and it was pretty cool.

A beautiful van you have East Coast Classics keep on van-in!

Thanks for checking out my video and for your comment. Yea man, that van and so many of the vans from that time were just bad ass. I'd like to get another one soon and enjoy the vanning life again. Thanks again. -Chris

Thanks for the comment and your time in commenting. This van is bad-ass and vans in general are really under appreciated. I think I was born a bit too early as I would have really enjoyed the wild parties and the whole vannin craze.

Good luck with your F150 project. Be sure to check out Jegs dot com for those Laker pipes.

Hahaha. Yea man, you're probably right. Lot's of time cleaning those side pipes, rims and weirdly, vacuuming that shag!

Muchas gracias!

Thanks for your comment. I have a real appreciation for the work done on some of these vans, from the wild interiors, cabinetry, paint and vision. They are all art work to me. If you want to see more of this great van and other cars, trucks and even some great burnouts, then check out the other videos in my channel at ru-vid.com/show-UCwmsQuw9NHD-OlB3XoW14XQ

Thanks for the comment and yea, she's bad ass.

+AyeCae Anderson Dodge vans are just plain bad ass! I love the grills just as much on both the early and late model "B"' vans! Thanks for checking out my little presentation.

There is nothing cooler than a bad ass Dodge van. I'm glad you like this one and thanks for checking out my video.

I have always been a dodge fan and hope to one day be able to have a sweet ride like yours, but all the dodges I have or do own are work vans...lol

Hey man, thanks for checking out my video. Got any pics or video of your van? I'm actually looking for another as I have so many ideas that I want to build into the next one. Crazy stuff like light-up disco floor, faux fir instead of shag carpet, love beads.....

Wow sorry to hear you sold her. But, I bet you still are having a blast with the van 😂😂😂😂

How much,? Sold for?

All Dodge vans are bad ass! They rule the van world. You got a three-quarter ton too, huh. I'm surprised by how nice they ride even with that stiff suspension. Nice and pleasant and corners pretty flat too for being a tall brick.

+Josh Holland (Capitol State Nomad) Hey, thanks for checking out my van. She's bad-ass for sure.

Haha! If a van pulled up near me that said "Free Tools" or "Free Car Parts", I'm hoping in!

I get it! I look forward to seeing what you've got.

Good eye on seeing that the speed-o stopped working. It started making a really loud buzzing noise and so I unplugged it from the gauge. About a week after this video I put some graphite lube on the speed-o cable, hooked it back up and she was working again. -Chris

Thanks for taking the time to comment. You know, Dodge "B" vans rule the van kingdom! Plus they're just plain bad ass.

I tend to think that the best deals on vans are from the van forums. Check out Facebook groups and different online websites. Those folks seem to sell their vans for realistic prices versus what you'll find elsewhere. Good luck!

Hey man, thanks for checking out my Dodge van video. I paid $6500 for the van and added the wheels and tires, side pipes and rechromed front bumper. I think I had something like $8500 total into her.

East Coast Classics That seems like a pretty good price to me it seems most that I seen wanted more money than that. You were well into your way for having a really sharp van. Unless something wasn’t showing up in video. Am sure is possible. You should’ve kept it I know I would’ve. I know what your saying about losing money on it if you kept up but sometimes you just got to enjoy life and not always worry about the money part of it. But than I know it easy for me to say.

East Coast Classics by the way I pretty much had this van growing up but it was blue with a custom paint job on it that I paid 16 hundred for the paint and that was probably 35 yrs ago than rims and many more things and their was a lot done to it when I got it and maybe 50 thousand miles on it when I sold it. For 35 hundred dollars and that was a lot at the time and yeah I lost plenty. But it was really sharp looking van all kind of looks in it. Many van rallies in it what a blast that van was. Sold it and bought a GTX with a 440 in it. And put a lot of money into it almost broke even in the car. But I must say I miss that van the day I sold it and still do. What a blast it was. A wife can make it hard thought if not into it. When it comes to cash.

+PMGaming101 Thanks for checking out my ride. I sold her this past Fall but I sure wish I had her back though. Gonna have to get another and really do her up right; shag, fur, love beads, bed, mirrored ceiling....
