I got this 1968 international travelall panel van for free. There was a lot more rot than I thought but I knew I could fix it. I didn't restore it I made me a everyday truck. The 87 chev donor truck was rolled in snow and body totalled but drive train is in perfect shape.So my 68 has everything 87 chev except sheetmetal. Fuel injected 305 auto 4x4 with 35" tires It has beige buckets for the front and bench for the back.Took 3 years to complete in my spare time.
