Is there anyone else building a retro 70's style custom out there? I am talking about a bed, ice box, carpeted walls and ceiling?I am begining to think that I am the only one left.

Where are you from Bopper? Didn't recognize the license plate. I am in Oklahoma USA. Let me know if you need any tips or ideas. I have built several myself and worked in a custom van shop back in the early eighty's.

 

i am based just outside of Worksop Nottinghamshire in the U.K. have just fitted a reconditioned engine to the van and doing all the repairs in satin black (its cheap) before going for a custom paint job.

 

thank you, i really think that we are the only three people in the world that are doing this anymore. i have a 1994 that i am keepinf stock and will be getting a 1985 cargo that i will be puting in the 70's grille and sidepipes as soon as i can. right now the van is red but i'll be painting it brown with a ornge/yellow stripe down the side.

 

I remember dating a guy in high school (back in the '70s) that had a Ford Van. He built everything inside himself and had the outside painted from some artist. It was beautiful! Those were the days!
Now I have a 2001 Ford LA West Conversion Van. I love it! It makes long trips so much more enjoyable.
