When I was 17, I was offered an A40 Devon for 10 quid. I decided it was too old fashioned. Go forward a year & someone I knew had an A40 Devon van, he only had a provisional licence, so I used to sit in. It actually went very well, low geared so it was valve bounce in top & ease off slightly. I turned up to pick up a girl, now my wife for first date in it as it was the only transport I could borrow, if her mother had looked inside, she would have never been allowed out, the inside was covered in orange fur & a mattress in the back.
Oh, I expect he knew full well what the matress was for!!!I had a 100e van like that, girlfriends dad stuck his head in the window and asked about the mattress in the back, I told him it was to stop the row from the noisy back axle.
Strangely he seemed to accept that and just wandered off!
Oh, I expect he knew full well what the matress was for!!!
Older Hemi's are getting hard to findhave you got all the parts for them? or is it going to be a long wallet straining exercise
I think he’s suggesting it needs a V8 in it?????
let me know if he has any of the original bits lying around, like front axle, std. wheels, etc. worth a bit to me!I had a very rough one, made into Rat Gasser style, never finished it so passed it on to a friend who's making a nice job of putting it on a go cart derived frame.

Partially solved the problem, bought a third that is mostly complete and even came with a few extra bits! that does mean that I have almost everything to copy... much easier to make bits when you have an original in your hand!have you got all the parts for them? or is it going to be a long wallet straining exercise
