I agree on that van, it's surely the bomb for lots of things around the house, farm, shop, etc.
just when i said no more - a 72 New Yorker 4drhtop

Very healthy 1-ton. Love it, hate it. It's a one ton.
AR is stamped in the center cap so i assume they could be American Racing wheels ?
theres a couple of weld spots on the right side
and the right side baffle seems to have a couple of rivets whereas the driver's side is welded

Thanks for the reply!
It's likely impossible to do one without being able to tell - whoever did this one did a decent job.

I missed out on a 1994 B350 window LWB van recently. It had sat out in a plumbing & heating company's lot for three years. The day I decided to ask about the van, they said they sold it for $400. Running, driving, titled. Arrrrggghhh!

Interesting the car is the NY model but has electric power vent windows. Usually, the NYB would be more likely to have power vents but even they are rare in those cars. Have fun and good luck. Shame the VIN plate is gone . will that mean it will be hard to get verified and titled?
the vent windows work well, they operate very quickly & smoothly.
it was a sales bank car so i understand that could make up random option combinations, i imagine there was a need to use up the stock of options from time to time.
no problem getting it in my name,
the car still has its door sticker with the VIN and it was with the previous owner for at least 20 yrs so there is a valid registration, there was no issue for me registering and insuring it - ive put a couple of 100 miles on and im seeing what i need to do to it to make a safe and reliable driver - im replacing belts, hoses, fluids and filters at the moment, the starter is abit weak but that can wait til next year if it lasts
@rags was right, Joe remembered he used a Ford module and the intermittent wiper switch from a 78 NYB. it looks to me like the car has a 2 speed wiper motor

From being around in those days learing to drive and at my grandfather's dealership, it is unusual to see a NY (not a brougham) with power vent windows but yet no AC hanging under the hood. Must have been a smoker who wanted to knock ashes off the edge of an open vent window

Holy wow that is a long tow bar! Did you make that? That would look like some guy following close. I made a heavy duty tow bar 10 or 15 years ago for pulling 3/4 pick ups.
The whole idea seemed sketchy to me and still does. Towed great on the freeway but getting out of town and back in was a pain.
Does not like tight corners.
I would have used mine more but I don't have a good method to attach to different types of bumpers. On a truck I pop the bumper off and it bolts to the frame.

Yes, it a home job. The long arm improves in town following because the truck doesn't swing the car one way before it goes the other way in tight turns.
Much better on the highway also. No sway.
Don't know how I missed this Mark and it makes sense that you needed new wheel covers lol.
swapped the wheels............
The way it was meant to be.

Hopefully they've found an appropriate home, see example below.
took it out of storage and getting it ready for summer.
insured & plated, just needs cleaning up
