Welcome from St. Catharines. Neat van - years ago I had a '65 Chevy van, no side door, short wheelbase. This was a family beater not a toy and it was really rusty, but we had a lot of fun with it. I'm still very fond of vans and I find it strange how they're called "mini-vans" now when the 60's Fords, Chevys and Mopars were actually smaller! Keep up the good work and welcome.
Welcome from Haliburton, Ontario. Drove one of those vans for work for a year in the 60's. More fun than I could imagine and getting paid for it to boot! Sadly it was written off near Hanover Ontario. All the best with yours.
Welcome from Eastern Ont. I have one of those p/u in my back yard going to s**** in the spring. Also a Ontario Rodders member. Do I see dingle balls on that. I just got some for my o/t ride.

Took my drivers in a '63 Eonoline back in '65. Luckly the 170 c i six wore out and dad bought new '66 Galaxy, My dates mothers liked the sedan more than the van. Good luck.
Mine is just a parts truck some one made it into a C cl*** motor home and the camper part rotted off. It was from Saskatchewan and has a few good parts mint drivers door and good windshield. I am going to strip it before it goes bye bye.
