Pics of your VAN! Post up!

I lived in one of those for a few years, only mine was 4x2 and didn't have the extended azz-end. After I wreaked it I up graded to the B-types, still using my `70 E300.

Alright I can get in on this.

'78 Quadravan. The 460 and C6 make it a bit of an investment every time I fire it up so I go back and forth between wanting to modify this one and sell it to build something from scratch. If I keep it it will get a small lift and some 35s. But ideally I want a straight six, d60 front and 37s which for all the work involved could just as easily be put under a different van.

Saline,
Very nice van, what did your side vents come off of??
Derek

Thanks,
The functional vents are from an 80's era Arctic Cat snowmobile and I got them on ebay. I ended up getting the same ones as Badgertrek from the SMB forum. They do a great job of letting heat out, especially when traveling slow off pavement. When the engine fan kicks on it's uncomfortable to have your hand in front of the vent.

There are still some on ebay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Arc...Accessories&hash=item2a1625262a#ht_500wt_1204

Very nice job on the vents! Do you know how long and tall they are? I have looked online for fender vents and I like the look of these from Street Scene, but I'm not sure they'll fit the vertical radius of the fender.

I did a quick Photoshop job to see what these vents would look like in place, but totally had to guess at the size of them relative to the fender.

It looks like your vents are flexible enough to curve to fit the fender?

The vents are curved a bit but are flexible enough that they conform to the shape of the fender. The vents are 16"long and 6" high at the tallest point.

It's a Trailready bumper for an F series Superduty. The bumper is a direct bolt on once you notch the areas where the front spring hangers are. The only possible drawback is that it is steel, not aluminum so it's fairly heavy.
