I am doing an article on Early's and although I know quite a bit about
Chevy's, I don't know a lot about the "A" series vans and van pickups.
If anyone could post a little about them, body style changes, engine
options, whether they offered both vans and van pickups during their
production run from 1964 to 1970, production numbers, anything would
help me out.

I should have talked to Mytch more last weekend about this but I only
offered to do this after a news service in Nevada saw my write up on
the Baker's rally and wanted use that, along with as much additional
information as I could get on the early vans and van pickups, on their
website.

Terry seems to be the most knowledgable person I have met on "A" series
vans so maybe he can pipe in with a little info also

Thanks

GP,
Man we're going to have to do that breakfast for sure now. I can fill in what I know as fact since I did work at the Warren , Michigan Dodge Truck (Compact Building) Assembly Plant (WTAP) where the A-100 was BORN
Might even need a Sunday sit down at my house too?. Very Happy

Terry

I know this is late, but what the hell....here's a Fargo A100. Same as a Dodge one really, but it says Fargo.

Fargo is the name used on Export (Canadian and S America) Dodge trucks.
D,W,L and C series Dodge trucks also carried the DESOTO name when exported to most Spanish Speaking Countries....
The A-100 & 108s.only had the Dodge or Fargo nameplate.
