When I see party vans, I think of our next door neighbor Jim in the 80's. He had a new at the time early 80's Chevy Shorty van, no rear windows, metallic Maroon, lots of chrome, with matching Maroon custom shagging interior. It also had a small matching Maroon speed boat. Jim was a cool dude. He also had an 80's V8 Monte Carlo in similar Maroon color. The Monty got traded in for a new 1989 Turbo Chrysler Conqust TSI widebody with the rear window louvers. The Mitsu Starion twin. It was white, but in true Jim fashion, the interior was Maroon leather. I remember seeing that sharp edged Conquest body as a new car when I was a kid, full of digital displays, Turbo engine, amazing alloy wheels, it seemed like I was looking at the future. My father also had a bit of a party van when I was very young. An early 60's Ford Falcon van, or E100 econoline. It looked normal on the outside, just a white Straight 6, three on the tree work van on OE wheels. It was a short van with no windows. It was insulated inside, and covered with a purple fur material, similar to the roof of your van. It was purple fur interior on all the walls and ceiling, with purple shag carpet on the floor. No rear seats, just bean bag chairs. When I was 2-5 years old, I always rode on top of the engine, in between the front seats. The warm hum of the straight six always put me to sleep. My parents couldn't take me anywhere farther than 10 minutes away without me passing out on the engine lid.

Our buddy Don was driving and managed to get us lost in the middle of nowhere in the dark. It didn't help he was already lost within the corridors if his own mind (acid).. lol.

Best van story...My dad bought a '78 g10 for $150, in '93, from a guys field. The guy had stored bags of garbage in it for years because after he had rebuilt the 350, he couldn't get it to start. I had to pick ground in potato skins and other organic crud out of the brown shag carpet. It had a "U" shaped wrap around in the back that converted to a bed, and swivel buckets up front. Somehow or another the guy messed up the wiring. Dad got it sorted out, we put headers (yes headers) 2" pipe and glasspacks on it, did the bodywork and painted it jet black (gloss). He had 8" truck rallys with 31/10.5/15s on it. we jumped every set of railroad tracks in town. He named it Jumpin' Black Flash...it was a gas. Great video...If only I needed a van...

Ah the good ol shagin wagon. Thanks for another Mortske Monday and all that makes it happen. Good luck!🐾🍺

The fact you literally called it free candy van at one point was a winner. Honestly wish I had the money to buy this and do something with it in regards to drivetrain work. Honestly it's well worth taking the motor out putting a set of manifolds back on it replacing the exhaust brakes leaf springs fixing that unit in the roof in the back that kind of thing. I haven't seen one of these Vans with that little rust since I was a kid anything I've looked at in the last 10 years there may be 10 or 15 years old and they're rusted like they're from the 1960s. Vans like that are getting pretty rare especially in that condition underneath. Hearing somebody say the words yanking the drivetrain off of it just made me feel sick inside really hope somebody grabs her and does something decent with it. Van is well worth putting the work into. You wouldn't want to see what they're charging five grand for here in Nova Scotia!

If you drive out the roll pin the accelerator pump lever pivots on, you can install the carb top straight on, making it a LOT easier to get all the metering rods in the right place. I would remove the secondary metering rods hanger and install them after I got the top back in the carb. My folks had a 74 GMC van, and one evening Dad and I removed the doghouse and the air cleaner and went out on the highway. I learned more about how a Qjet worked under partial and full throttle. We probably burned 5 gallons of gas that night, but I think it was worth it. Great video!

All jokes aside, that van is actually in pretty good shape overall. It is definitely worth fixing up for somebody that wants one.

Our local parts guy had one that was a 250 in-line 6, and a 4 speed manual. I’ve never seen another GM van with a manual. As always, fantastic video.

I know this video is over a year old as I post but like everyone else, I have a van memory: My dad had a '74 Ford SuperVan (a rreal thing,.look it up) with a 302 v8. It was work spec. Sliding right-sise door, and barn doors in the back. Inside, nothing beyond the front 2 sests. It did have rear A/C but think delivery van. My dad put shag into it, blue velvet seats our of an Old/Buick, built a removable table, cabinet for a cooler & storage, and a seats that converted to a bed in the back..This was the late '70s & no sest belt laws, so us kids just sat, played, walked all around as we floated down the road with Manalow, Elvis, the Saturday Night Fever 8 tracks rotating to provide tunes. Good times.

What’s absolutely funny to me is that I love cleaning, washing, detailing, cars, pressure washing, fixing upholstery, polishing trim and chrome.. I love doing all the stuff you hate.. lol… I hate the chore of tuning or getting them to run.. lol

Happy Mortske Monday! That tool at 10:05 is a refrigerant (freon) dispenser tool, (The more you know! lol). Great video sir, I enjoyed it. My dad had a 1977 dodge van with a 440 in it.

We bought a sweet old 77 Chevy Westcoast conversion van with all original interior, bit crunchy here and there, but original shag carpeting, wet bar, Hewlett Packard 8" b&w TV and CB radio. Diamond shaped molded plexi window over the bar sink. Alas, lost it to hurricane Harvey flood waters. Pretty epic event for us.

From my wrench turnin' days of the 60's & 70's some of the most wisest advice I received: "Keep the instruction sheets from that first QuadraJet carb you rebuild... and follow the exploded-assembly view it every time you rebuild one!" In 2020 terms: "Look it up on KZread man!" The only other major cringe moment was tossing those rare 45's around and scratching them up. Major OUCH! On the upside, "Vanning" is very much a thing again and those 70's Chevy vans especially are in high demand. Someone stole my 100 mile 1977 Chevy "Shorty Van" a few years back, and if I lived closer I would snatch up this project van in a heartbeat, before you knew what you were giving away! A '77 Chevy Van with 350 & A/C that runs is easily worth 3 times the $1,200 you are asking. This one is virtually rust free except where some dummy packed in fiberglass insulation in the door panels. Anyone serious would plan on replacing the exhaust system anyways after 45 years. lol

🎵"I gave a girl a ride in my wagon, She crawled in and took control, She was tied 'cause her mind was dragging, I said get some sleep and dream of rock n roll, Like a princess she was lying there, Moonlight dancing off her hair, She woke up and took me by the hand, She's gonna love me in my Chevy van and that's alright with me......"🎵 Thanks for the Vantastic show!

@@MortskeRepair hey I sent this video to Pole Barn Garage to show him a real shaggin wagon since he has one on his channel he's calling a Boogie van you gotta check it out Mortske it's almost a furry as yours LOL!! Do you still have that van or you get a fish I mean a real nice guy to buy it ;)

Those records could be worth something... They're highly collectable these days. I loved the 70's vans. They were super popular right thru the 80's.. I bought a 89 Chevy van brand new... Short wheel base with a 305 . 4 captains chairs & a bench seat in the rear.. I loved it for road trips , but I lived where it tended to snow all winter & that sucker was dangerous if you could actually get it onto the highway.. Traded it in a yr later for a 4x4 truck. 93 extended cab with a 5 speed..loved that one. Btw, I chewed on the the guy who left a pissy comment... There has always gotta be one miserable prick out there.. CRAGERS !

@@pdrphil8159 Again, I SELL RECORDS and I DO know the condition. Records come with sleeves for a reason, to keep them from getting scuffed and scratched up by other records. Unless it's a rare record it's worthless once it's been scraped around on other records. Most of those are popular songs that sold hundreds of thousands of copies. I probably have every one of them in the numerous boxes in my storage unit and I couldn't even get somebody like you to come look at them to sell them.

I had a 77 Chevy van that My dad bought off my great uncle Homer Royce in Mandan, ND. Had a blast in that ride.

In case nobody else pointed it out, that blue curved tool with the r-12 port on it is for punching a hole in r-12 cans like the ones a viewer sent you a while ago.

Great job. I sure hope you sell it to someone willing to restore it. My brother had a 77 Dodge Tradesman Van with the bubble windows and chrome side pipes. I loved the sound that 318 made. Make sure to do some research on those 45 rpm records. Cheers from Guam USA👍
