This 1977 Dodge B100 Tradesman is as opposed to any other you could come across following getting restored and modified by Legacy Classic Trucks.

The business is most familiar with modifying Dodge Power Wagons, historic national park buses, and classic Jeep Scramblers but decided to take on a new challenge with this vintage van. It was initially spotted by Legacy Classic Trucks founder Winslow Bent on a Chicago street on his wedding day. He was quickly enamored with the van and bought it appropriate then and there. He then set out to modify the classic Dodge and drove it from Jackson Hole, Wyoming to California for the Coachella music festival.

Legacy began out by rebuilding the van’s Chrysler 318 V8 engine and although it hasn’t mentioned how a lot horsepower it has, we do know it is very good for an impressive 450 lb-ft (610 Nm) of torque. A new electrical method was then installed that consists of a big lithium battery to make sure the vintage Television performs, as does the 18-speaker two,000-watt sound method, twin air conditioning units, and the beer cooler.

A handful of other updates had been created to the interior of the Dodge B100 Tradesman. These contain the fitment of a disco ball, a lava lamp, a leather table, and orange shag carpet. It also characteristics period-appropriate upholstered textiles. The van has also been updated with new brakes and suspension elements.

“Old school vintage vans command such goodwill in the vintage landscape for truck and car enthusiasts, but the space is in this weird in-between area that sometimes falls through the cracks of the marketplace’s nostalgia,” Bent described. “There are few things cooler than a super clean, well-restored van. Our new Legacy Tradesman van restoration is exclusively made for partying. For music festivals and road tripping, this is the van you want. Classic colorways, amazing interior, restored to drive roads for long periods safely, and modernized with enough battery power to hang with the AC on at idle for days. The new Legacy Tradesman custom is cool on every level.”

This will not just be a a single-off either as Legacy Classic Trucks has revealed it is now providing Dodge B100 Tradesman commissions beginning at $45,000.
