Hey guys, suggestions, opinions??
Might have the opportunity to pick one of these up cheap & am considering making it the ultimate camper/tow vehicle.
1979 E-250 Ford Pathfinder 4x4 conversion van Dana 44 up front & Dana60 out back with a 351W powerhouse.
The one im looking at is a reg panel van not one with all the lovely windows.

(model not exaclty as shown)

I think it would work well. Sure would beat sleeping on the ground in a tent.
I would say you could load up the trailer with the zook on top and all the camping gear and spare parts, put it in drive and forget that you are towing something.

buy stock in petro canada, or buy you gas at shell so you can get the air miles, wont take long for you to fly somewhere. lol
i bet it gets better mileage that the shaggin wagon!!!
looks pretty cool though. It would be nice to sleep off the ground.
