Do not have current pics but can take some if anyone is interested. I think it's a 78 3/4 ton I will have to look at title again.

Has nice carpet inside with sink,refer,stove top and heat. CD player with amp and marine radio. Like new tires. Starts and runs well. Smoke when you start it. Then smells really rich at the exhuast fumes. Has brand new carter carb. No rust and looks okay. Some sun fading on the paint. Has seat bench bed in back with wall to wall carpet. Has the captian seats and lots of cabinits and drawers like you would expect to see in these old camper vans. All the lights and switches/gadgets inside work. Has plug on side of van to hook power up when camping. No generator but has converter or what ever you call them. I am 6'2 and can stand up in it for it has that tall roof. Both heaters and aircon does work as well.

Sorry for the pics these are just ones I had on file. Have to double check but I think there is about 80000 miles or so on it. Low miles anyway. I do not use it and it's not doing it any good sitting for years now. I start it and move it about once a year. I have had it for like maybe 5 years now. I tried DEQ once and failed. PO put brand new carb on it when I bought it. I have not did any adjusting to the carb or any DEQ work. It has just sat ever since. When you start it you see smoke for the first puff thing. Then then smoke goes away but you smell lots and lots of fuel in the exhuast. Clean under the van with no rust. Inside is pretty nice. All original with that late 70's carpet and vinyle look. Even has the curtians and the curtian you pull around the front window. Small table on pole as well. Has good batteries or it did last year. Has power windows and power locks and maybe some other stuff. Body is okay with no dents to speak of. Starts right up but cold blodded to drive right away. It's like you have to warm it up for a few minutes (5min.) to drive it or it just bogs while picking up speed. Once it warms up your gone though.

The only other problem running wise that I can think of. When I first got it we took it on about 200 mile trip. While climbing a real steep mountian road. We got a slight oil buring off the exhaust manifold. I think it's leaking out the valve cover on long steep hill climbs under full power. It only did this during that really steep 2 mile grade or abouts. Besides that she ran well. After that I just moved it around my house for the past 4 or 5 years.

I think it's a fair deal for running $500 camper van. Ram1500 I think. Not a dodge guy. LOL

Will trade for 70's 80's enduro's. ATC's, Gokart, Vintage Mini bike, Pedal Moped, Scooter, Dune Cat, Smaller Camp or Trail bikes.
