vtfireman85 Posted October 4 Posted October 4 I mentioned in another thread that I had found a van my dad bought new in 1985. More accurately my grandfather bought new, but my dad ordered it… which i kinda like even more. We used to go to Maine in it when I was a little kid, JD lawnmower in the back and an air mattress, dad would bolt the front seat out of his Cherokee in between the front seats. When he traded it in 90’ a local art gallery ended up with it, they had it on the road until 13’ and at some point it got turned into an exhibit when this Graffiti Artist painted on it. Some guy got it from them and recently listed it on marketplace. I contacted him and told him my story, we worked out a deal and a friend and I went to get it today. I plan to put a little tent stove in it and spend some dry time in it during hunting season. It’s rusty, the odometer shows 71K miles, 1985 G10, 350 carbureted, brown dash, brown faux cane vinyl seats. 8 Quote

Sledgehammer Posted October 4 Posted October 4 That should bring in all the Boone and Crocket hippies nice and close. You can wear patchouli as a cover scent, tye dye for camo and take those new fangled gummies as hunting snacks. 1 6 Quote

Ended up pulling the 4 bolt main 350 to put in a boat. It's cool that you got back a piece of family history. 1 Quote
