my first car customixed

[Mike]

this was my 1970 truck when I was 18   I didt all the customizing christmass wrapping the upholstery   added vega bucket seat in the cab that's a tv above the louvered cabinet I later added crushed volor cover 1" foam board to the camper walls and velor on the cab door panel I also removed the back window and the caps window cut the sheet metal doan and made a vinyl boot to seal the weather out so I could crawl back into the rear  from the cab   hey I was 18 and it was the 70s van craze

It's a good thing you had the sky light to let the smoke out.  Must have been one of those early transformers - during the week it was a working vehicle and on the weekend it was a cultured meeting place ?

custom vans, yes remember those but don't believe that I ever saw a pickup custom like that one Mike.  Lot's of work!  Huh?

I suppose times just change but the vans have gone away, they liked gas! 

Interesting, remember shag carpeting?

Only as a last resort surely? ;-) Those carpet burns sting!

I see a lot of truck around but rarely see any with the truck caps anymore either

  I did my chevy van back in the day. Wish I had pics of that. We had some really good times in that. Oh the days of sex drugs and rock and roll.

  The van took me a week to do. velvet walls, tile floor, built in cabinets to fill the wheel well spaces, a dinette set converted to a bed, net of the ceiling with thinks I picked up my ice box and I was all set to go west. South first. I had my snow brush cruise control and had a ball for a few years.

  When I'd get back I pulled the dinette set and back to work.
