Found one of the '75 Westfalia I had in college. I regretted having to sell it, but I don't regret selling it...it was largely made of rust.

Are you in Michigan, or were you just passing through?

In college I had a 1975 Westy but I don't have pictures handy. I'll have to dig some up later. That was the first "hit" that got me addicted to camper vans.
I has diesel rabbits in high school. One had the ac removed and there were holes through the fire wall. I took a very soft spoken girl on a date to mount Brighton. 10 minutes into the drive, I'd just nod and smile when she spoke because i couldn't hear a thing she said.

My folks had just converted to natural gas, so there were 500 gallons of free gas in the basement.

Sweet old Chevy......if so inclined, try resizing the images so they’re not displayed sideways
