Hi Gents,

Just trailored home my something '60's van this week. Wanted to restore a vehicle similar to my first purchased rig with my son.

The body is very straight except for right rear corner and the roof. Will need most of the dash and electrical along with a carb before it runs but hey it's only time and money right?

My first question is what year and options do I have as the yard has no title and I have to chase one.

The numbers are:

E14FHB40312 (B may be an 8)?

090 E141 489

Trans C Axle 01

Cert. Net HP 89


thanks I 'll be lurking

Dave

Thanks Bill,

I am pretty sure it is a B but couldn't find any other VIN matcher that liked the B.

Thanks for your help I am looking forward to getting started

Dave,

Where are you located? Might be able to help you find some parts. Does your van have single or dual master cylinder? 67 was the only year for dual master cylinder.

 

Thanks for the offer. I'm still trying to get a title out of the ugy before I start buying parts. I am in Boise and will keep your contact info. Hope to start tearing into it next month
