    I had 4 trademans in the 70's and 80's. They were great. I preferred the 318 model 727 trans, that were in most of the early ones. Traveled half the country in one. It was dependable and parts were affordable and everywhere. Love that grill (73). You hit a home run!

    Being born in '78 I have to say that only great comes from '78. I love the enthusiasm of this gentleman. Hard to not become infected with it. The style is amazing and I love the Dodge B100 style of vans. The interior leatherwork is so sick. I'm truly in love with this van. Excellent work!

  • @officialdefer8629
    @officialdefer8629 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Awesome van takes me back to my childhood. I was born in 76 reminds me of the Vans my uncles used to drive, and I used to see on TV shows, also love the hammer rims, tires look nice too.

    Great inspiration, I have been looking for a van but just do not like the new ones.
    I think i will get what want, and that is a classic Dodge.
    I started working out of them in 1980, was a ford and chevy guy for a couple years before.
    I put as much as 300 thousand miles on Dodge Vans.

    Wes is like the nicest guy ever. His son is "lucky" to have such a cool dad.

    I was I was located near this clubvan group. I just purchased a 74 Econo; beautiful. I have such big plans for it, but don't know of any recourses to pull from.

    Smart reserve fuel. Love the way your van looks reminds me of a hot wheels I had . Right calling SSB a CB modest , nice radio. Diamond tuck is very nice. You need to score a gas ass or grass, nobody rides for free bumper sticker , then you have period correct van. I watched the whole video.

    Growing up in the 70s i've seen many boogie vans and yours is top shelf. As cool as the paint shop is the interior takes the crown. Every item does at least double duty. And the diamonds look better than wall to wall shag. This van looks like Darth Vader's personal sled.
    Dodge and Chevy shorties were the best looking boogie vans. I remember the hammers well but the deep dish centerlines were my favorite. Thanks for taking us down memory lane. I'm getting nostalgic.

    First! Great van! I love the 70's Dodge & Chevy short vans (I'm 51). There was a small group of Vanners here in Shelby Co. Ohio in the 70's.
    I love all of it, the flares, bubble windows, Cragars & Slots (with due respect to your Hammers) barn doors, wings, lace paint, murals and graphics etc.
    Do you have screenings of "The Van" or "SUPERVAN" at the meets?
