Have the side of the van for the album cover, and maybe have the album name "Keep On Rockin'" as a play off of the "Keep on truckin'" pose. Then maybe on the back cover, have new art of the band members in the same style and in the same pose as on the truck. And of course the album would have to be released on vinyl in addition to CD.

I always liked this show before they found the van, but being a HUUUGE Aerosmith fan, and being from Massachusetts, there is a much more special place in my soul for Mike and Frank!

This van has a message for Aerosmith: "A little rusty, but still pickin'..." how fitting.✌️

My first concert ever Hampton Virginia 19 years old right up front awesome still a musician today because of that experience covering Aerosmith songs thank you guys keep on rocking

I love watching American Pickers on the History Channel.

That's awesome I'm a huge Aerosmith fan never knew anything about that van that's way cool

thanks for the update it is awesome.

This episode is the best! So nostalgic for us Aeroheads! 😎😎😎

crazy, what a find!

With the popularity of the band, it’s hard to believe nobody knew about this years ago. It’s a cool piece and would look great in bar or a center piece in the Hard Rock Cafe. I agree the logo and coloring on that looks almost too new and wonder if it’s been touched up and redone. If it’s been outside for 45 years, not sure how the color has held up so well. Unless a lead based paint or whatever they used 50 years ago still looks so vibrant with color

Funny how the logo looks brand new...

Yes his memory seems pretty good and so he probably actually remembers attempted murder against Steve's pregnant girlfriend . The whole thing is really horrific and it's on a number of channels . I believe every word of what she says and it blows my mind that obviously Ray was probably never investigated by the police . Probably the best video about this is on the DEEP-DIVE channel.. Tragic , horrific , and sickening ... especially if you have any young daughters .

I watched this episode, they kept saying they're not going to restore it, whilst restoring it, so the only original thing left was the art on the side. Absolute travesty what they did to that van! 100% Triggers Broom at the end

well it was probably covered by a tarp for years. also if he was a artist, he knew enough to at least use oil base paint. that stuff last forever. its the best paint to use durability wise besides lead paint, which they dont make anymore .

So what happened to the van. Did it get restored?
