ok, so i'm curious if POs of your buses installed any non-standard kit

the first time we bought this van it was from the original owner (in '91) and the altimeter was already there... i guess it makes locating yourself on a map a bit easier in the days before cheap gps

How many times have you bought that van? Shocked

I found a bunch of plastic flowers(Thrown out) in mine and a speaker hooked up but not mounted behind the passenger seat.

Where was that thread where the dude found the previous owner had patched the heater channel with beer cans? Classic.

Mine had a custom lawn mower ignition wired in. I'm guessing the twenty bucks BD sells the switch for was too steep for the PO so it made more sense to completely hack the wire harness and scab in this shady mess. It's classy alright....takes two keys to drive, one to unlock the column and one to start it. I'm undoing that ghettoness right now.
