Mail call, electrical stuff
Bought a bunch of stuff from Amazon, and DrGno sent me some connectors and the tool for them (to save funds)

Van Fan?
Looked at this fan at the parts shop
Seems like it might do the trick
Seems like I have an oppertunity here… ideas?
As I was stopped for gas today I noticed the emblem has fallen off the grill.
So, I will make something to replace it, I was thinking maybe copper?
Or the AZ flag in 4 colors? (Red, Yellow, Blue & copper)

New Tires bought
Grabbed these from Craigs list for $80 !!
The Original Tire Size
The van came with a good set of tires
LUG PATTERN 8 X6.5
8.75 R16.5 LT
They have decent tread, the driver front looses a little air, enough to need to be filled about once a week.
So I will be looking at changing the tires, and perhaps the whole wheels to change from 16.5-inch rims to a more standard 17-inch (or 16-inch)
Roof Rack installed
Found a great roof rack at a local Junk Yard ($65)
It has the perfect amount of rust to match the van, and really makes it look great
Fuel Filter Replaced
Today I replaced the Fuel Filter ($4)
The only fuel filter on this one is in the carburetor, so it is small and requires taking off the dog house. I think I will keep a few available to swap these out whenever I have the doghouse open, for a few dollars it’s easy insurance
