CLASSIC CHEVY VAN

250 -6 cylinder

Automatic

Gasoline

1975 Chevy G-10 Shorty van. I picked up this van thinking I would turn it into a vintage/retro style carpet cleaning van. The 6 cylinder engine runs good, it was originally a 3 speed manual looking at the build sheet, now it has a TH-350 automatic. The first night I drove this home I was headed down the highway and the speedo only was reading at 45 mph, I asked my girlfriend why she was so far behind me, and she said when you hit 90 I figured you could get the ticket.....so the speedo isn't accurate at all, probably tall gears in the rearend for the manual trans and that's why it's so far off. It leaks a little oil, probably burns a little too, I just got a brand new battery, changed the oil, put a new waterpump and radiator in it last week along with a new belt. It doesn't have power anything, manual brakes, manual steering, no A/C. I've never calculated it, but it probably does pretty good on gas. The wheels and tires are custom 17x8.5 with Toyo 255/60R17 tires, they are all the same so you can rotate them front to back. the tires have about 65% or so left and are in great shape with even wear. The paint is original, and obviously gone on the roof. My plan was to wetsand it all out and just clear the whole thing, it would look ratty, vintage, ugly to some, but I thought it would be cool. The inside is completely gutted, the floor in the very center has surface rust, some genius put foam between a wood floor and the metal, not a big deal and it isn't rusted through. It was pretty much a hippie van when I got it, had a place for a bed and was all wrapped in a nasty blue plush velour crap..... I hauled it to the dump, you can thank me later. ick! So, you basically a getting a nice solid, original chevy van to build or use as you desire. I don't see any reason why you couldn't fly out and drive it home. In the back you get a chevy bench seat to mount or toss, the stock wheels, and some aluminum running boards. the only thing that really needs fixed is the roof vent that was added in the back, it needs a new cover, but I'd rather see someone take it out and weld it up the way it came. It's going to sell to the highest bidder. I just put over $200 into battery, radiator, waterpump, it has a $1500 set of wheels and tires on it, I'm setting the opening bid less than the wheels alone...... It has about a half tank of gas in it too. Any questions, call me Gary 541-892-240 eight On Mar-12-13 at 09:13:56 PDT, seller added the following information: OK Van fans...... I am adding more pictures of the inside, the hitch, the stock tires/wheels, running boards, back seat, engine, and the build tag under the hood. I took some underneath pics... but they didn't load for some reason, so I will be back with those. After reading back through my post, I missed a couple of small things, maybe important, maybe not, but I'll list them now. The exhaust has a leak that sounds like it comes from close to the engine, it seems to quiet as it the engine warms up. the engine oil dipstick has to be held in place to check the oil, when you pull the dipstick out the tube moves and then you check air, and like me...will think it is out of oil, when it isn't. OK adding pictures... headed back out for some underneath shots..
