Trodlers Vans.

Hi everybody.
I have been checking out this sit since it started , so I have finally got around to posting some photos.Thats if I can work photobucket.

My Yellow van I have had for about 10 years and was purchased off an old bloke from Urunga in NSW.He had old timers disease so wasnt sure if he built it or bought it.It was originally painted baby sh%@ brown and blue with an air conditioner built into the front.So when I got the van it was completly dismantled the air con taken out and the front of the van rebuilt.It is 12 ft long x 6ft4'' wide.



And the green van I have had for 1 year,It actually belonged to my partners grand parents who purchased it in the 60s from a bloke in Sydney who built the van in 48.It is an original ply van with an aluminium skin and aluminium window put in later.This one is 10ft long x 6ft wide.

So if this works ill post some photos in members cars.
thanks.
Richard.

What can I say Richard? WOW

That yellow and cream van is a credit to you... Obviously no expense spared there either it looks fantastic! Do you have any interior pictures you can post here as well? The green one is a neat little van as well. Very nice mate

Richard,
Those are two very fine vans.
With that stop light on the back the following cars could get blinded.
Interior shots of the little green van would be great mate if possible.

Hi and welcome to the site Trodler. You have certainly thrown down the gauntlet on quality restorations. Look forward to see pics of the interior of both vans.
Cheers

Hi Guys.
Glad you like my vans.
I have taken some inside shots of the yellow van ,but it is hard to make it look good with a flash.The rear tailight is original ,I think it came of an early Ford.
Reddo , I live in Wollongong.
At the front is a single bed that makes up the table as well,and above that on the walls are 2 brackets that hold a stretcher type bed.


Then at the back the double bed folds up to a lounge.


The little green van is a bit hard to take an inside shot of as it is only 10 ft long.


Thanks.
Trodler
