No shag carpet, gonna get the carpet cleaning machine out, and clean it up get it running and see what I have. If it will run, and drive I’ll put it back in service. Not as a carpet cleaning vehicle though.

It’s a really just a ***** van so I think your “in service” options are going to be few.

Yes don’t believe they put them there in 78, but if it is it’s hidden well

Oh yeah, this is in great shape. Good score! Hopefully the mice/rats didn’t chew too many wires.
