Re: 1973 Chevy Step Van Conversion

We're still here!

Got the floors all down, putty in, sanded, and stained. I really like how the grey stain came out, especially after a few layers of poly. ...

Re: Chevy Step Van (not a bus, exactly) Black Water Problem

Seems like a good idea! It would be nice to have travel suggestions (where to go, camp), parts trade/for sale, local meetups, etc.

Great to meet both of you. I need to get over to see both of...

Re: 1973 Chevy Step Van Conversion

Sorry for low quality. My wife just sent over the cage she made for the black water tank. We got a low toilet and built up a base for it over top the tank. ...

Re: 1973 Chevy Step Van Conversion

Re: 1973 Chevy Step Van Conversion

Update time... and then I'll address the PEX VS FLEX BATTLE ROYAL!

Re: Cargo Space - Blue Bird CSFE conversion

Ah, fellow Houstonian (Houstonite?)!! Looks like a fun project and a very nice bus.

Re: 1973 Chevy Step Van Conversion

Quick picture update, 'cause who doesn't like some pictures?

Yesterday while my wife was at work I finished putting in all the outlets and cut in the last bit of power so we can start skinning the...

Re: 1973 Chevy Step Van Conversion

We were looking for the ignition system on that site - sadly did not have it in stock, but it's a great resource for cool bits and pieces! I just need to find a wiring diagram now, and I should be...

Re: 1973 Chevy Step Van Conversion

I think this vespa is about the same - simple simple simple. I like it. Just need to figure out the kill switch so it looks like someone couldn't just drive it off if they wanted :)

Re: Chevy Step Van (not a bus, exactly) Black Water Problem

WHOA! I've never encountered such excitement! I'm happy to have something that's fun and unique. I'm not overly vain, but it's nice to have an interesting rig.

It's 19' total, about 14 feet...

Re: 1973 Chevy Step Van Conversion

Hooooya! Update time! We've been on vacation, but busy.

Got the cab light put back in. Wired it in to the battery, so it won't be a constant use light. ...

Re: 1973 Chevy Step Van Conversion

Re: 1973 Chevy Step Van Conversion

Yeaaaaah. Definitely not doing that. It was a suggestion by the previous owner who didn't really know what he was talking about. I'll probably rip out the gas tank and use the location for a fresh...
