Who's got em?
I'm about to buy a 1967 chevy van, used to have a 63 ford falcon van which I loved but couldn't take with me when we moved across country. Wanted another ever since.
A customer of mine has had this thing in his yard for a few years and every time I see him i ask about it. well, he finally wants to sell it( more like his wife is sick of looking at it)
so I'm getting a sweet deal on it. Love the old 60's vans

I run my Painting business
I run my Painting business out of a 2005 Ford Econoline 250. Believe it or not they didn't do that much to change these vans from the time they were created to when they ceased production a few years ago. It has all the factory shelving built in with it which is great but def adds to the $ for gas. With the 5.4 Triton it ain't exactly he most fuel efficient but these vans are great. The last one I had was a 2002 and a used car dealer gave me a grand for it with 225k miles. Probably sold it for 3k. You can't kill the E-250's. I'm expecting mine to push to over 300k. Classic van. Ford fucked up. Should never have gotten rid of them. Their new line of work trucks/vans suck. They build them on the minivan frames now. Pieces of junk.

Never had one with the seats in it so I'm not sure exactly what Turtle is referring to as a "Death Trap".

I cut a skylight in mine so I could grow a pot plant in it as I drive along.
No, not really, but we did drive cross country in 1976 w/ a house plant swinging from the ceiling of our VW camper.

Right on. I let my brakes go
Right on. I let my brakes go pretty long and I got so nervous one day on the highway that I just drove right to pep boys. Those things are heavy man, need to keep up with the brakes.
