Around here in IN we get racoons & mud dabbers in vans outside. Another van in Great shape

Cool job on defroster vents, Nice van

Hello, Another good video, on checking things over... Stopped at a radiator repair shop today, to do inquiring on fixing a radiator for my vette sportwagon, we got to talking and he said he recently just did a g10 van radiator not to long ago for a guy, I got to thinking, im gonna go dig in my stash piles, and bring in the old radiators I have and see if they are fixable, A good radiator repair shop is getting hard to find!!! Can update on costs, and availability of stuff is for them, when I find out. Never hurts to have spares, A suggestion to all vanners, Don't throw the old radiators away until they get checkout!!!😊

Great vid Mark !

Hi. Im wondering why you can't clock the current pump in position so the fittings arent near the frame? 🤔

Can you unscrew the pump manifold and rotate the bottom portion then screw it back together?

A great thing about subscribing to your channel is I get notified when a new video comes out! Your videos are invaluable, even if the issue doesn't pertain to my '70 (at the moment I see the video anyway)... I think many of the issues on mine is that the current engine was not necessarily designed for the van application, and many of the components need to be Rube Goldberged as you have demonstrated in this video!

Very nice. I need a right rear windowed door for my 66.

You guys do Great work.

I seen this van, when you drove it to IN. It was Great to Finaly meet you.

Looking Good Mark.

I remember when you first got this van, Mark

It looks to me like the correct bolts have been replaced by bolts that don't fit the holes properly and you'll probably find the holes "wallowed out"....The correct bolts are drilled for cotter pins and use castle nuts and probably have a torque spec...

I lock the fan clutches on my cars because they turn about 30% more RPM and keep things COOL!....

I like fab job of that fan shroud

Good information

30 7 cylinder model, my bad. Out in the pasture where the van had been sitting for four years. Armadillos had been digging under it and there was a container twenty feet away with cute little copperheads under it, mostly.. My concentration may have been affected. I changed the manifold, carb, distributer and waterpump out, also the plugs, fuel pump and wires, my plan was driving the van to the Nats. I learned the down dog house yoga position, folding ribs on a 2x4 used for support. Hungry ticks, mosquitos in 100 degree heat fill out the scene. The wires bamboozled me, I couldn't make sense of them. It was my first time turning a wrench on a gen two and didn't know what I was supposed to be seeing. I was sure it was not supposed to be bubbled and burnt. I called uncle and arranged for transport to Marks'. To the vanners out there. Has anyone switched the alternator to the passenger side to use the drivers side location for power steering like early Chevys? I'm shopping for the passenger side bracket, I see it for long water pumps but not for sure the short pump. Any help would be appreciated. Jim

Great to see a young family doing things together. Chuck-E Cheese afterwards? Looking forward to seeing the work on the VinVan Vin!!

What size is that V8?

You mentioned before the van may go 4x4. Have you firmed up a plan? The window vans look great with the extra height. Nice body !

Well, that about covers it!

at 2:49 - 2:59 I thought I was looking at myself tryna get that dipstick back in the tube. I'm usually not so quiet tho. 🤣

Wow! Kind of unsightly. Do the neighbors complain?

Good channel ! Keep up the good work

Nice van

You probably know (but I'll mention anyway).......When you use an HEI distributor, You MUST replace the entire length of the ignition wire from the keyswitch to the distributor because the original wire is a resistance wire (for points) and doesn't provide a full 12 volts to the distributor.....In concert with the new keyswitch wire.... the wire that originally runs from the starter solenoid to the coil is no longer needed....

Not sure about the 1968 G10, but my 67 had a "fusible link" between the starter motor positive connection and the rest of the van. Burnt wires may suggest a prior owner got rid of the link and a short fried the wires. Nice looking van

This van was truly asleep for decades, the Rip Van Winkle angle is true and clever. How about "Winkle Van" ?

Here in Arkansas, those little dirt spots are just mud dobber wasps, even loaded there nothing a screwdriver can't fix😊. That version is what crawled in number 7 cylinder on my 427 big block, I forgot to put sparky plugs back in before I went to work for the week, it made a home there and made the engine not want to turn over by hand, ended up pulling the head off to clean it out... Also just FYI, I seen the nests in other videos, if you let them build the nest, or you come across a huge paper nest, (empty of course) people buy them for rat rod builds, I've seen some as big as a 1gallon zip lock bag,

The owner of this beauty should chime in here...What are you naming it? They are of course a subscriber. Right? Another great vid guys! Awesome editing. Keep 'em coming.

I can only imagine what a wiring surprise my green '70 is with the Painless replacement wiring harness. Probably needs a bit of tweaking to be closer to what I used to be. Plus I want a cigarette lighter that works all the time and not just when the ignition is on. And I'd love to be able to turn on the interior lights with a twist of the headlight switch. (I know, picky picky)

It's a total looker!!

Looks to have left the GM factory as a panel van 108. Good luck to the owner on the completion of this project! Should turn out nice!

Does anybody want a complete heater from 67 G10 . Small leak in core, new resister.

at some point in its life that van was obviously “ asleep “ for a long long time… why not call it rip van winkle .

Mark!! Entertaining for sure....good job at keeping your cool while determining when to pull off the wire..😂 that van looks clean inside

I wish the body of my '70 was as good as that one!!

How about calling that thing "Rootbeer Float"?

Had this on my “ Hippie Hauler”.. after sitting a long time, the clutch disc rusted itself to the flywheel. It broke loose after a few tries bumping the starter, with it in gear. Awesome video!👍

Nice job of adapting to unknown conditions, had me laughing, more please !!

Is that what you call DRIVE BY WIRE lol . good job

if the 12k miles are true that is an amazing find! either way that is a beautiful van . Looking forward to see more videos on this van. Thanks again for all you do .

My 67 G10 had the plastic filter (nylon?) on the original gas gauge sending unit break apart and it sent debris into the carburetor which stalled the engine. I didn't have a filter but if I did, I imagine the debris would have plugged the filter. On the good looking van in the video maybe there is a similar issue with the filter in the gas tank.

He's a lucky vanner finding that ride !!!

I had a 68 in high school 79. Straight six two speed power glide. People these days think I am full of it when I say two speed.

Definitely a sweet looking van, nice rarity being a emergency vehicle, Gonna be fun to watch updates on it, 😊

Breaks my heart to see windows cut into the sides of a panel van...... I like the color though...
