@@dennisoakes1811 You'd be hard pressed to outdo this one. I love this van. It reminds me of some awesome times in my youth. I can't wait to see what your other one looks like. Peace.
. I have 65 Chevy Van that I'm restoring in my driveway (on a much lower budget). Thanks for sharing some great ideas and inspiration. That 350 looks good in the doghouse !!
I have a 65 chevy sportvan. 230 4 speed manual. When I got it had a early 90s fix up with paneling and a bed and that apartment carpet. I just ripped all that out. Put in a nice bench seat.
You're adorable Josh! Ok, your dad must be a very cool dude indeed. His van and I have the same birthdate 1965, a very good year, I must say 😉Awesome job on the build-out, pristine. Yup, looks like your dad definitely likes to rock out lol Doesn't everyone have that many speakers 😁 Good job! That Awning is to Die For, want that!
The thing the strikes me most was that very large and long storage box housing all the electrical cr*p !! Since this is just a weekender van, why do you need all this extra stuff?? I don't even have any electrics in my van at all - I don't need it for a Friday to Sunday trip. I know this van is an oldie, but with the advent of Jackery / Eco battery banks, that would be more than enough for a W/end away, surely - and it will give you all that space for something more esential (you could put the battery where that bag was, cos you don't need it !! )
Lovely minimal design but it leaves me with the same question as '70s vans always did. The bed is 64" long, that 5'4". Can anyone taller than that actually sleep in it?
“Clearly, my Dad likes to Jam” 😂 Clearly your Dad is Cool AF !!! This thing is beautiful. I’m 58 in a couple of weeks so this is right in my wheelhouse. Would drive the shit out of this rig and be proud to do it. Well done 👍

At the end of Nov. I will be living full time out of my 2013 Ford Transit Connect inspired by you...been watching your videos since last year some time and finally got to this point....I'll tattoo you for van work😅🙊 #Mando_mojotattoo
Wow your dad hit it out of the park..!!. Question can you ask your dad where did he get the steering wheel adapter to a later custom steering wheel..??thank you so very much..!
How much would you charge me to camper a Subaru Forester? Just take out the rear seats, make a floor to sleep and on the opposite side a small piece of furniture with a sink with drain to the rear wheel.
Very nice. Everything appeared to be very high quality. I find these old vans to be quite interesting. Have to track down a van show someday as I've never sat in one. A bit curious as I'm 6'7" and not sure how well I'd fit in the driver's seat.
