WTB ISO/WANTED - 4 Speed 1979-82 B Series RAM Van

[Chodukno]

My first vehicle ever was my dad's hand-me-down Dodge Van. He bought it new in 1981 as a Custom 4 speed. It was light blue metallic with light blue interior (those HOT stock vinyl plaid seats...lol). I don't remember what size they called it but it was not a shorty or the extended length. It was a passenger van with glass all around and removable back seats. I remember turning the middle seat around to have the two back seats facing just for laughs. It had a slider on the side and two barn doors on the back.

I'm looking to find this rare unicorn (or something as close as possible) as a nostalgic project vehicle. Mine had the slant 6 engine but I would be fine with the V8. I'd maybe even rather the V8 as I remember the 6 to be kind of underpowered, at least for me as a teenager it was. But, the 4 speed transmission is a MUST!

Thanks,
Chuck

SOLD!!! Do you take Bitcoin?

In all seriousness this is awesome, I'd love to see the interior.

Are you actually selling this? This this is intense! Looks like you need CDL license to drive it...lol

Yes it's for sale. There's a divider behind the front seats. And the interior behind the divider is not finished just cargo space.

Mine is for sale. 75 360/727 auto. Sorry it's not a manual transmission equipped van but the other guy has the transmission and shifter to convert it if necessary. The automatic transmission shifts fine.
