Brandon.Byrd Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Hi Fellow Mopar - I am looking to buy a Dodge Route Van (see attached photo) either this one or another one. Ideally, the smaller body style van. If you have one or know of one sitting please email me at Brandon.Byrd@mac.com or call me please 202-630-6455 Thanks, Brandon Quote
Merle Coggins Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Sorry I can't help you find one. But I agree, they're pretty cool. I wouldn't mind having one myself. Good luck in you search. Merle Quote
Brandon.Byrd Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks Merle and do you one yourself? I see you're from Waukesha...small world because I am from Madison, WI Quote

HanksB3B Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 I'll have to ask my daughter...she lives in Lake Geneva. Hank Quote
Merle Coggins Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Hank, did your daughter move? I though she was in Janesville. Brandon, yes I'm a Badger fan. And you can ignore Mark (ggdad1951). He gets confused. But what else would you expect from a Gopher fan. It's good to see another Wisconsin member here. Merle Quote

donh97 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 Hi Brandon - I might as well put it here that I got my Dodge Route Van yesterday. Got my work cut out for me for sure! Quote
RouteVanJoe Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 There's one sitting at the Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI, or at least there was a few years ago. It was heavily modified though as a food vendor truck, though I don't think it had been used in years. Quote
48Dodger Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 A Route Van!........how cool is that.....Independent rear suspension. Gotta share a few pics of the suspension.....never seen one in person....yet! 48D Quote

donh97 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 For the benefit of 48dodger & anyone else interested, here's a picture from a Dodge Factory Brochure showing what the chassis with offset engine & independent rear suspension looks like. And, I uncovered some painted signs today when I started sanding on my 54 DRV. Will try to get 2 pics in here. Quote
OLD DODGE Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Large wall poster for the RV. I threw a $20 bill in for size reference. 1 Quote
donh97 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Posted March 16, 2013 Oh wow, cool poster! Got the right front fender hammered out today on my "Route Rod". Gotta weld a couple of breaks tomorrow. Rascal was so beat up that the front & rear were completely loose. Quote
OLD DODGE Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Great job on fixing that fender up. Looks like there is plenty of paint underneath all that surface rust. on my "Route Rod". You're not planning on chopping this thing up are you? Quote
donh97 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Posted March 20, 2013 Yes, surprising amount of blue paint. No, I'm not going to chop it up. In fact, I'm gonna straighten up the body & then start on the mechanics, engine first. These trucks have such a pleasing look that I plan to keep everything original. I got the passenger side fenders pretty well hammered out & welded & the rear installed and will install the front tomorrow after I weld a couple of small cracks on the edge over the rod I welded into the beed. Ran out of rod yesterday. Quote
rkldesign Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Is your Route van the 117 wheel base or the shortest one? I am on the hunt for one my self here in California. Hope to find one soon. I am looking forward to more images posted, thanks, Richard Quote
rkldesign Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Large wall poster for the RV. I threw a $20 bill in for size reference. Wow, nice poster, can you provide copies? Richard Quote
OLD DODGE Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Wow, nice poster, can you provide copies? Richard I don't have the resources to do that. I can ask around at the print shops and see what they say. Quote
donh97 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 Richard, My route van is a 102" wheel base. I'll call you today & we can discuss. I've put it away with two other vans for the summer but look forward to getting back on it in the fall. I'm looking forward to chatting later today. Don Quote
