What was your 1st van?

Mine was an early 90's coit Dodge Ram

My dad's first truck was a 69 Chevy van, Corvette blue. You could special order the color back them for $100.00.

My first TM was in a 1976 Dodge. It looked like an airplane or ship it was so long. Weighed down with a huge Steam Genie, she sagged.

My father started out in a 70"s Ford Fairlane Wagon. He built a wooden shelf that fit beside his scrubber and vacuums. It housed shampoo, brushes, a drop light and terry towels. Kinda fancy for a wagon but he really tricked out the Chevy when he bought it.

Clean it up if you want to sell it.

We sell 3-5 trucks per year and people are really impressed with the like new look of our Butlers. It's an easy sale compared to what others are trying to sell.
