i actually thought about the diesel idea . i seen a mercedes on CL with a turbo diesel and auto that i had on my mind , but it sold .
when i first seen this van it was stting flat on the ground in black dirt . i was very concerned about the frame and floor being gone , but to my amazment there is no cancer to speak of . now the exhaust pipe is a different story .
the story behind this old van , is that it delivered mail in fredericksburg tx until it was passed on to "The Radio Post" where it was used for delivering news papers . after it broke down a lady bought it and used it as a camper for a year until her house was built . she had called a junk yard to pick it up when a man that lived beside her told her that she would do better by selling it on CL .
