Hi everyone,

Just picked up a 1976 Dodge B200 last night! I'm super excited to fix her up and get out on the road. I'm up here in the PNW, hopefully I will get out to some of the van events soon.

Here is a run down of the van and project;

Positives about the van condition,
-Swivel Chairs up front
-Awning
-Refrigerator
-Plumbing system with holding tank and pump.
-Propane Stove and oven
-Hi-top, can stand inside :)
-Elec exhaust fan
-Fold out couch
-Seems to have a strong running engine
-All door and windows are operable
-Jerry can mount on the back

Maintenance that need to be addressed,
-High-top leaks, going to remove and re-seal.
-Has some rust, going to wire brush most off and cover with rustoleum.
-Speedometer is broke
-Fuel gauge is broke
-Engine Tune up
-Transmission Flush
-Change all fluids in general
-Fix the mirrors so I can adjust them.
-Detail inside and out, remove the moss, polish the chrome, wax, etc

Modifications to be made,
-Add insulation over the already spray foam insulated exterior.
-Engine Tune up
-Transmission Flush
-Add a CD player with MP3 hookup, and speakers.
-Completely remodel the interior
-Install a 12v lighting system.
-Repaint the wheels
-New(used) tires.

Always loved those old Dodges, but not the juice to put in em. Good luck.
