@@dennisoakes1811 You'd be hard pressed to outdo this one. I love this van. It reminds me of some awesome times in my youth. I can't wait to see what your other one looks like. Peace.
. I have 65 Chevy Van that I'm restoring in my driveway (on a much lower budget). Thanks for sharing some great ideas and inspiration. That 350 looks good in the doghouse !!
“Clearly, my Dad likes to Jam” 😂 Clearly your Dad is Cool AF !!! This thing is beautiful. I’m 58 in a couple of weeks so this is right in my wheelhouse. Would drive the shit out of this rig and be proud to do it. Well done 👍
I have a 65 chevy sportvan. 230 4 speed manual. When I got it had a early 90s fix up with paneling and a bed and that apartment carpet. I just ripped all that out. Put in a nice bench seat.
You're adorable Josh! Ok, your dad must be a very cool dude indeed. His van and I have the same birthdate 1965, a very good year, I must say 😉Awesome job on the build-out, pristine. Yup, looks like your dad definitely likes to rock out lol Doesn't everyone have that many speakers 😁 Good job! That Awning is to Die For, want that!
Very nice. Everything appeared to be very high quality. I find these old vans to be quite interesting. Have to track down a van show someday as I've never sat in one. A bit curious as I'm 6'7" and not sure how well I'd fit in the driver's seat.
I had one...in 1976...I gave 600.00 dollars for it.....it had some dents.on the front end....but I had it during the factory customized vans. So my little look like junk...but look at it now....1965.chevy swb panel van.... I lived thru the 3day concerts.arty times in the 1970$..it's a wonder.those vans are around they were so cool to drive.....I lived on the Md Pa line...okay those Chinese ring neck feast were every were....A Chinese ring neck jump up and flew right in front of my windshield.for about a mile..beautiful bird...Excellent van .with.big windshield.
Wow your dad hit it out of the park..!!. Question can you ask your dad where did he get the steering wheel adapter to a later custom steering wheel..??thank you so very much..!
The thing the strikes me most was that very large and long storage box housing all the electrical cr*p !! Since this is just a weekender van, why do you need all this extra stuff?? I don't even have any electrics in my van at all - I don't need it for a Friday to Sunday trip. I know this van is an oldie, but with the advent of Jackery / Eco battery banks, that would be more than enough for a W/end away, surely - and it will give you all that space for something more esential (you could put the battery where that bag was, cos you don't need it !! )
Lovely minimal design but it leaves me with the same question as '70s vans always did. The bed is 64" long, that 5'4". Can anyone taller than that actually sleep in it?
At the end of Nov. I will be living full time out of my 2013 Ford Transit Connect inspired by you...been watching your videos since last year some time and finally got to this point....I'll tattoo you for van work😅🙊 #Mando_mojotattoo
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
How much would you charge me to camper a Subaru Forester? Just take out the rear seats, make a floor to sleep and on the opposite side a small piece of furniture with a sink with drain to the rear wheel.
Man.... I'm about to buy one if these vans! Especially after watching this video!!! Great Job Dad!!
This is the coolest van I've ever seen.
Thanks !.......it because you havent seen my other one.....yet
@@dennisoakes1811 You'd be hard pressed to outdo this one. I love this van. It reminds me of some awesome times in my youth. I can't wait to see what your other one looks like. Peace.
Tell your Dad his restoration of the van is awesome. The weekender aspect is secondary to how cool the old van is.
Your dad is rocking it! From a guy who daily drives a 69 VW bus👍🏼
Your Dad has class well done
. I have 65 Chevy Van that I'm restoring in my driveway (on a much lower budget). Thanks for sharing some great ideas and inspiration. That 350 looks good in the doghouse !!
Me too! and totally agree!
A Chevy 350 V8!! That thing would go like a cut cat! 👍. Your dad is way cool! 🤘
Very nice work
Now I see where the son gets it! Brilliant conversion and I SO love the retro '65 van. How cool!
Back cubby great and simple & obscure too! Great travel color
Super awesome van, I have a 69 gmc handivan that my dad gave me in 1991, I have always wanted a 64-66 handivan to accompany her, I love your dad's van
Super beatiful and original! Cool participation of your dad's arm too! 😄
This is a rad van. Beautiful
Love that thing! Very tasteful!
Love that awning.
I love the surfer style a lot. Vans are coming back and the surfer style is my favorite!
Love the color of your dad's van!
It wouldn't be a Josh Oakes video without 'and what not'. Ha! Very well done. Great video, super build! Thank you both.
What a great van. And exceptional workmanship again! Like others on here have commented, I world love to know more details about the awning.
Very nice workmanship! It's so cozy too! Thanks for sharing with us Dad. 👍
Absolutely love that van. Love your dad's style. Love the foot gas pedal. Your leather bag is great. That awning is amazing.
Very nice Dad! Got a lot of ideas for my 65..... you did it! Thanks
Wow, looks like a lot of work had done. Full respect from Germany.
Dude you’ve inspired me to get a fort transit and do a small build out inside for weekend skate trips! Hyped when you post!
“Clearly, my Dad likes to Jam” 😂
Clearly your Dad is Cool AF !!!
This thing is beautiful. I’m 58 in a couple of weeks so this is right in my wheelhouse. Would drive the shit out of this rig and be proud to do it. Well done 👍
Wow love vintage vans your dad did an amazing job it’s beautiful!!
I have been waiting on this tour since I saw your insta post!! So excited
Your dad rocks!! I’d give anything to go back to the days of the mighty V8.
I have a 65 chevy sportvan. 230 4 speed manual. When I got it had a early 90s fix up with paneling and a bed and that apartment carpet. I just ripped all that out. Put in a nice bench seat.

Wow! That's amazing job ur dad did. Nothing like vintage vehicle. Love it! 👍🏾👏🏾

Really beautiful clean leatherwork! Even more impressive that you've been doing it for only 2 years.
Beautiful truck
Very cool!
This is super awesome!!!
VERY nice.
What a van
Cute van and such a cute conversion 😻
i love these vans but I'm 6'1".....i have no idea how I would sleep in one😭
Love the van tours, this one made all the better for your Dad's 'action hand'! Carry on, you're showing off some amazing workmanship.
Amazing van, looks awesome.
I want THIS van
*clearly my dad like to jam" You say it like that is a problem. LOL
That’s a dream camper!
Should have used the LG logo on the side of the van. It actually stands for life is good lol
Love it!
wow! im actually doing a 66 chevy g10. looks incredible. great use of space
I have another one that is a 66'.......will be posting pictures soon
Cool rig.
Lots of nice details.
I like the small block conversion and the s10 wheels.
Modern but not to modern. Just right.
Demo the awning setup n tear Down Pleassse! Tnx....Esthetics are great, "your dad" the hand has great IDecoration skills!
Very nice! Ahh, wanted to hear the 8 rumble 😉
Lovin the art...How about a lake as a "Bluebeard"?
Coolest flat nosed van build I've ever seen . Great job dad. What is the fabric you used on the walls ?
Really beautiful and fun!
Waaaaaw
A van to go camping with.
Dam!
Great idea I have a 67 and had no idea what to do inside . Question did he put insulation under all of the side panels ?
Great video, how expensive and difficult was the engine conversion
Very nice. Everything appeared to be very high quality.
I find these old vans to be quite interesting. Have to track down a van show someday as I've never sat in one. A bit curious as I'm 6'7" and not sure how well I'd fit in the driver's seat.
Awesome

Wow your dad hit it out of the park..!!. Question can you ask your dad where did he get the steering wheel adapter to a later custom steering wheel..??thank you so very much..!
had a no window 66 with a 350 in it
Wow‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️
The drawer handles are functional? Like a bed plank etc? Or else drop handles are less obtrusive
The thing the strikes me most was that very large and long storage box housing all the electrical cr*p !! Since this is just a weekender van, why do you need all this extra stuff?? I don't even have any electrics in my van at all - I don't need it for a Friday to Sunday trip.

To bad they don't sell these smaller vans.
😍
Sweet ride! Where did he get that awning? Good to see you post again ✌
Nice 👍 van 🚐
Beautiful van! Nicest van on UA-cam! I have a 67 Chevy van. What vehicle are the front seats out of?
There the rear seats from a chevy uplander
@@dennisoakes1811 Missed your reply. Thanks so much! Mucho appreciated!
How loud is sitting besides the motor? Asking for a friend.
Cool video how in the world did you get a engine in the in the glove box
*clearly my dad likes to ... jam
The late model S-10 wheels fit well but don’t look quite right. Hook it up with something era appropriate.
Огонь
Hey Josh, what is the material on the walls ? Thanks
W nap carpet
Lovely minimal design but it leaves me with the same question as '70s vans always did. The bed is 64" long, that 5'4". Can anyone taller than that actually sleep in it?
how loud is the engine since it sits right beside you?
Really can't hear it
How much did the conversion cost ?
At the end of Nov. I will be living full time out of my 2013 Ford Transit Connect inspired by you...been watching your videos since last year some time and finally got to this point....I'll tattoo you for van work😅🙊 #Mando_mojotattoo
They call that a Custom Van, not a weekend camper. Weekend camper PMSL
no kitchen no shower its a problem
