Purports to be GM Medium Blue. I’m not sure I like it; might prefer white. I’ll have had this van three years next month.

I might have done white, but this isn’t bad. Blue plates would look cool too. I still think there’s room for historical research on this vehicle, it has to be one of the oldest remaining of this style van.

Now get a panel and make one of these:

This specimen was special ordered with windows from the factory.

This is one of my favorite Oppo cars.

In 5 more years, when I maybe have it Street worthy, you can come and go for a ride in it. But thank you.

Color looks good to me. Unfortunately the medium blue on the van itself is so faded and chalky, that it doesn’t match. White would be nice, but I would probably leave the wheels alone if it were mine. It looks so much better with the steelies and dog dishes now!

I prefer the steelies as well, now that they're in place. I'm afraid white would look blah.

So it lacks seats?

Yeah, I do too. A shock to the system after looking at those S-10 rims for two years. Those really didn't look bad, just not the right look.

Yeah, I like those S-10 wheels a lot, but they were wrong for Rusty.

Was it not built with more than front seats?

I spy with my little eye a hitch ball. You pull anything with it yet?

It did have benches at one time, I believe, but they are gone now.

It's the world's crappiest hitch. And to your question, no. Not yet, anyway...

Love the van. Vandura is up there for one of my favorite vehicle names.

Thank you. October will make three years I’ve had the thing. I can fill the van with the parts I’ve bought for it so far...
