Never driven a van like that but I've owned a Toyota minivan. Basically sat on top of the engine in those Toyotas.

Buddy of mine had a Ford like this. It had a 3 on the tree. It would hang up between gears all the time. Would have to take a large crescent wench and a hammer and beat on the shift linkage to get it unstuck. That was fun times. :CWL:

Had to do the same with a Dodge. At a toll booth.

I think that might be fake or photoshop. A couple of things stick out, mostly it's got the wrong grill.

One thing they got right for sure is the hood clamps are definitely, totally, fully functional.

🤣😂 That’s hilarious!!
They forgot to remove the 2nd set of rock sliders too.

Someone’s got way too much time on their hands….🤣

And full sized vans forever before that. Even an EV would require some room for components. The dog houses are perfect for tables and cup holders.

I always thought Chrysler had the first minivans in 1983?

Perhaps my memory is failing me?

Please fill me in about what minivans were in the '70's.
