New van

I found a 77 g10 window van on craigslist for $2K. I got it for $600 after some spirited bargaining.
It has a 305 that " died on the freeway". it has a perfect body(like mine) and I am really happy to find the vehicle I wanted at a killer price.

Last year I worked for the TruckU tv show here at the SEMA show.the check for that enjoyable gig and the opportuity to buy a classic BMW all happened on the same day.this year,another fun gig that I would do for free,working with some media stars and getting paid for doing fun shit, woohoo! Anyhow this year it bought the van.

Re: New van

That's a nice little airhead twin. I've put 300,000 miles on twins. 150,000 on one Beemer alone.

Just have to figure out a way to carry it on the van.it weighs about 400, a bit much for a bumper mount.
