Super cool find at Pick n Pull!
Ran in to this bad boy today, 1978 Chevy Sport Nomad. Was in pretty good shape other than being dirty and was very original, which made me sad as I would have loved to own it. I was even more disappointed when I realized it had a 400 under the hood! Would have been great back in it's day. I couldn't get anything good off if it so I just snapped some pics. The front bumper was a tempting wall hanger though...

Re: Super cool find at Pick n Pull!
And to compare, this is what 90% of the squares that come to my local pick n pull look like. It's an 85 C10 and you can see just how much better the van was.

Re: Super cool find at Pick n Pull!
That's a neat Van! First time seeing a NOMAD version...did it have the "Swing Out Buckets seats"? I assume they are just swivel seats but I don't really know.

Re: Super cool find at Pick n Pull!
Yup, still had the swinging drivers seat in it. Interior was very original, no shag carpet to be found in this one.

Re: Super cool find at Pick n Pull!
I can see the van's steering wheel in one picture. I hope you grabbed the tilt column out of it.

Re: Super cool find at Pick n Pull!
No I didn't grab anything from it. I take it the tilt column from the vans is valuable or rare?

Re: Super cool find at Pick n Pull!
Here's one that sold recently: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=701104
As long as the key is in the dash (not on the column) then it will be very similar to a 67-72 pickup tilt column. I think they changed somewhere in the 1982 model year.

Aw man. I wish I was there the day it arrived, I would have bought it and lowered it and driven it as is!

Re: Super cool find at Pick n Pull!
Thanks for posting....I have been looking for one of these to match up with my Sport truck ...did not see it for sale so likely it was a yard cleanup unit and never advertised . Even has the Jack Carter sticker on it.

Re: Super cool find at Pick n Pull!
A rust free vehicle gets scrapped in rust country. Brilliant, I'm sure somebody would have rebuilt it. I do like my vans.
