Been back and forth to an Estate sale for the last 4 days. So much stuff I still haven't seen it all. Lots of older import stuff. There was 3 older custom vans and I just couldn't stop looking a this one. It just had that old school cool factor. Well today they offered me a deal as long as I wouldn't send it to the crusher. Well now I own a 68 Chevy van. They say they all ran when parked in the 90's, so time will tell. Inside is like a time machine! :apimp:  O0 Groovy Dark Side of the Moon!
I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend
"That's us in 10 years".
He said "That's a mirror, dip-shit!

Yep the side pipes are hooked up. They are in really nice shape and have Thrush emblems on them. I will oil up the cylinders tomorrow and try to fire it up.

I figured it was a 283. I did some research and see they changed in 1968 to a 307 engine. It is also a 3 on the tree manual!  :2thumbs:

wow..I thought it was an airplane cockpit at first....may take some time to figure out what all those switches & lights are for, huh?

I had a 69 Chev van back in the 80's...it was the shorter wheelbase (90") if I remember...had a V8 with 3-on-the-tree also....but block was cracked....so I put a 250 straight six in it...bolted right up to mounts & trans....was a good little van
