The Dodge Tradesman cargo van of the 1970s was quite popular among customizers back in the days of 20% annual inflation and talk-box guitar solos, as we saw with this '72 Tradesman Junkyard Find last year. In the very same San Francisco Bay Area wrecking yard, here's a Slant-6 Tradesman that doesn't quite qualify as a custom van— not with just tinted glass and aftermarket wheels— but is still a nice time capsule.
Chrysler kept the same basic design for its truck HVAC controls for nearly 20 years; my 1966 Dodge A100 has nearly identical cable-operated controls.
Slant-6 engine, 3-on-the-tree. Not very quick, but about as reliable as you could get in the 1970s.
You don't see many of these vans with the single rear door option.
Just a plain steel box with the base engine, but it kept going for nearly 40 years.
