I think it was house carpet from memory. I had a friend whose brother knew the owner quite well and I think it was done by a carpet layer.

Once again from the fading memory I think it was a 350 motor. No idea what the rest was.

It was an incredibly heavy van. All the panel mods where double skinned. Panels attached over the existing ones. The bonnet was amazingly heavy for its size with all the extra steel and fibreglass you actually had to get under it to push it up. It had a double pair of hinges each side.

Awesome photos guys, 70s really were the best for custom vans. Rogue i have been looking at pics of that van for a while now, but that is the first time i have seen the inside of it, thanks mate. Great van.
