61-67 Ford Econoline, hard to tell exact year, probably later.
I have a buddy who had a '67 back in the '80's.

I had a '69, different body style.  Wish I still had it.
I removed the 170ci 6 that it came with and installed a 302.
Good times.. ;D

I had a GMC, complete with shag carpet, fridge, couch that turned into a bed, place for tools and tie downs for my XL125. No photos of course.  I also had an old Pepperidge Farm bread truck that was similarly styled.  It was blue on the bottom, white on top, large eagle logo of the company and red blotches sprayed all over the white.  got stopped in Alabama because the trooper thought I was one of those long-haired hippie creeps.   I did have long hair and was a creep so I guess his profile was right ::)

I flogged my '69 from Arkansas to Tacoma with that 170ci and the three on the tree.
I was lucky if it topped out at 55-60 with a tail wind.
But I was young and dumb and it was an adventure.

A friend of mine had a Ford like that and he used to like to do front wheelies. He would roll along at about 10 M.P.H. and stab the brakes, about the third stomp would lift the rear wheels about a foot off the ground. It was weird to see from the outside and even weirder while riding shotgun.

Like just about any subject, there's a forum for that.

https://www.vanning.com/

And of course I am a member there. I haven't always had a van, but over most of my adult life, I've had a few. I honeymooned in our first one.  All rigged for camping, and my latest will be no different.  Just got it in July.

I have been casually looking for an AWD GMC or Chevy van to do some light "overlanding" with.
Unsure if you can get the LWB option.

"There are some things nobody needs in this world, and a bright-red, hunch-back, warp-speed 900cc cafe racer is one of them — but I want one anyway, and on some days I actually believe I need one....
