That's so crazy, the story on the history is spot on,. I went to SCC Milford back during my first stint in college from early '96-late '97. I was in computers but we used to smoke with the auto program guys as one of our labs was by theirs. At the time they had the GM certified program there so GM would send them all the vehicles like that van with - like you said - the catch that they couldn't be driven off campus. When I was there they had at least one late C5 Corvette and a Z28 Camaro as well as a ton of regular cars. They had some of the Chrysler program there too at the time and I also heard the story of the Viper, but nobody was allowed to drive it other than the instructors. It was inside a garage somewhere so I never saw it but the Chrysler techs swore it existed. It would be hilarious to watch the guys absolutely rip the cars between the lot on the far end of campus and the shop. I'm sure they don't get away with that anymore but nothing like seeing a grease-covered college kid absolutely blowing the tires off a brand new 'vette.
How fun it is to watch you make improvements and create! I definitely live vicariously through you and your adventures! Thank you for sharing your life with us. You're awesome.
If you do the magnet idea you might want to go for strip magnets and not individual ones... Mosquitos can be sneaky little jerks if there's any space hanging open.
Really enjoying watching your van become more and more Quady-fied with each new video! Plus, the story of the van that had all of those windows in such good condition is pretty cool too. Can't wait for each new chapter in the van's evolution.
Mike great find on those flip out windows!! They will greatly improve air flow on muggy nights. I had several vans I converted from utility or open to camper style in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and did same thing with windows that opened instead of fixed ones. We used to attend “Van Ins” on the weekends on the East Coast much like the one you attended in a previous video. Lots of “CRAZY” fun and memories. A small suggestion on the hinges on the bottom flip out would be to use some of the same tape that you used on top long hinges under the bottom one between hinge and door metal. It will keep water from seeping under the mounting and causing rust down the road which would loosen the screws. Also might add that a small amount of rubber adhesive on the gaskets will keep them from shrinking and maybe coming loose. I put a little adhesive at each of the 4 corners to keep those areas from shrinking and a little bit of butyl rubber gasket caulk where the seam of the rubber meat. Looking forward to more videos with this classic van👍🏻.
Good deal that it was fairly simple to swap out the windows. I may be mistaken, but I believe those hook thingys on the back doors are to support a curtain rod that came as an option on those vans.
That cluster is definitely worth grabbing it can only go up in value over time original equipment is highly sought-after for restore. If nothing else it would make a great garage wall hanger with that low of miles for chevy fans
Hey Mike 👋. It just keeps looking better and better ❤ Hope it helps you stay cooler now..:I’ll guess I’ll find out as your next one is out…off to watch it now 😊 Have a blessed week 🙏
These are going to be a game changer, nice find. I went through auto tech school at the local community college back in 99-01. We had a lot of cool low mile cars. What about Velcro around the opening and stitch the other side to screen material? Would be better than magnets probably since it would double stick tape to the window opening.
Awesome Quady, so glad everything fit just right, and a great job you did. The van is looking great, screens are definitely needed and glad you will get better air flow. Can't wait to see more camping adventures. 🥰🌟👊
@@CrazyQuady Yeah, I can imagine anything hanging from from them would be banging on the window or the door while you’re driving. That would be pretty annoying.
for the screens, they make screens that fit the entire back of the van, and close in the middle via magnets. that way if you wanted to keep the back doors open you can and it keeps the bugs out. also, still able to access stuff from the back with them since they close in the middle.
Your video not just about camping, but it mix of combination such as entertainment, history, education, build, food, install stuff, important information and tips too. I learned a lot through out your channel Mike 😉 . Thanks. Keep it up 😍💪. Road to 100K 😁💯😎
Looks great! Word of caution, my Dad had a 1975 Ford van with the pop out windows and on the side sliding door, he left the pop outs open and slid the door shut. The jarring from the bottom latch against the window cracked one of the windows. Might not be the same force with the style doors you have but just be cautious, wouldn’t want you to crack any of those. Be safe!
On the pop out window screen deal... what I did on mine was easy, cheap and removable at any time. Take a section of screen to go the length of the 2 sides and bottom. Not top. Tuck screen under the seal on the (U) shape of the window. open window, then go on outside pull screen tight to the window. Install 1/2 inch split wire loom over screen and window edge. Go all the way around the 3 sides. Cut off extra. Done. Window still moves in and out.but is easy to remove for off season or off trips.
@@CrazyQuady pull the screen to edge of the window. Slide the split of the loom over the edge of the window and screen. Then cut off the extra on the outside if the glass.. The wire loom will act as a clamp for the entire way around the window in a pinching action of the screen. The split in the loom reaches all the way on and over the oem window trim, thus holding it all on. Your only screening the sides and bottom. Top is to tight to full with. Hope this helps. You can also upgrade to a plastic track sold everywhere instead of the wire loom. The wire loom makes the corners easy. But you can heat the track up to form fit to the curves also.
I went to pick up at a restaurant and they had zipper screen doors. They attached to the frame with a strip of Velcro and you could zip them together or just use one. It’s made of soft screen and no bugs can get through. They wouldn’t let me or my husband take a picture. So maybe something you could get.
Awesome find and smooth installation. At least you made it look that way. You made the right decision not to purchase the doors, there would have been no pin striping. Nice progress and can’t wait to see what’s next.
OK, I'm definately a truck camping guy myself.... Impatiently waiting for the truck adventures in the future especially any road trips West or North where the camping gets really good!
Looking good, should help out with some air flow. That would be cool if there was a screen/fan type thing that could go on one of the windows, smaller side window maybe. Something to give protection and air flow. Love the blue BTW, my favorite color. Love the build and the videos brother, can't wait for more. Be safe and God bless.
The hinges on top of the windows are for when you are traveling there like little black hooks there for when your traveling and if you suit or shirt or pants you don’t want wrinkled you hang them there
You seem like a good ol boy/country good folk. I wish you all the success in the world man. P.S get the truck running also just for your channels sake.
Looks sooooo good... I was waiting to see if there was an attack from the spicy sky raisin. Looks like I am going out camping at Victoria Springs this Friday and Saturday. Get out there!
Awesome, as always, Mike. Thank you for sharing. This was pretty awesome even though I'm not one of the boys, lol. STAY AWESOME KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU 🤗HUGS🤗
Dude GO BACK ASAP and get the cluster. It took me a month and 3 returns to get one for my G30. Get it Bro. Having one extra is ok. Or if you need the front screen easy yo replace also.

The engine from that Z28 ended up at the Lincoln campus.
Awesome story!
I really like the excitement you get whenever you upgrade your van, you will have it customized in no time ❤️❤️❤️
How fun it is to watch you make improvements and create! I definitely live vicariously through you and your adventures! Thank you for sharing your life with us. You're awesome.
If you do the magnet idea you might want to go for strip magnets and not individual ones... Mosquitos can be sneaky little jerks if there's any space hanging open.
Yeah, im out now using the magnets I had, straps or magnet tape would work way better
Ya, I agree. They are sneaky little buggers. 😊
Thank you CQ for everything you do off camera to make videos for RUclips. You put in a lot of damn work and I appreciate it.
My van came with the pop out windows, my van is fully loaded all the bells & whistles, I love these old G20s man!!!
Really enjoying watching your van become more and more Quady-fied with each new video! Plus, the story of the van that had all of those windows in such good condition is pretty cool too. Can't wait for each new chapter in the van's evolution.
❤ WOW jack of all trades. Yea a screen will help with keeping the bugs out. Love Lincoln weve been up there a few times a nice little city. . ❤❤❤

great idea for gaskets on the lower hinge, it never crossed my mind
Good deal that it was fairly simple to swap out the windows. I may be mistaken, but I believe those hook thingys on the back doors are to support a curtain rod that came as an option on those vans.
U went and saw Larry! Super nice guy. He has helped me out in the past.
His son is running the place now
Excellent job! It’s coming along nicely. I’m looking forward to seeing your camping trips in the van.
Crazy Quady the new window you put in van look on awesome on your van
COOL VAN , LUCKY YOU . 👍😎
Great find, Mike. That is so cool and they will work well to add circulation and airflow.
Hey, I'm so happy you got your windows they look great!! 😊
Thank you!! 😊
That cluster is definitely worth grabbing it can only go up in value over time original equipment is highly sought-after for restore. If nothing else it would make a great garage wall hanger with that low of miles for chevy fans

Hello Mike, thanks for the adventure!
I can't wait to see this van evolve and get on the road!
Wow. Those turned out great. Definitely a very cool find. Those hooks look like they’d be for a curtain rod
CQ, Van is coming along so good man.. 💙 watching you make this baby your own!!!
Cat OZ
Hell yeah bro!!! Tint them bad boys up!! Congratulations!!!
Well, good already tinted except your fronts... U need them all matched!!!get the cluster !!! You'll wish you did later 😂

Wow that’s awesome. Great upgrade !!!! Fresh video too. Happy Tuesday
Excited for you that you found those windows!! Finally you will get some air flow!!
Awesome Quady, so glad everything fit just right, and a great job you did. The van is looking great, screens are definitely needed and glad you will get better air flow. Can't wait to see more camping adventures. 🥰🌟👊
Those little clips remind me of the clips inside trucks to hang your shirts and sports jackets on hangers from.
It makes the most sense it just seems like odd placement, especially when driving 🤷♂️
@@CrazyQuady Yeah, I can imagine anything hanging from from them would be banging on the window or the door while you’re driving. That would be pretty annoying.
So glad he's getting those windows in!
Great video! So glad you got the windows you wanted. 😊

Brother,
You need to go back and get all 5 of those doors for your Rig. You never know you might need them. Plus there Mint, Perfect 👌 Condition.
Bravo. I could never do that in that kind of heat. You are very handy.
Looks great! Word of caution, my Dad had a 1975 Ford van with the pop out windows and on the side sliding door, he left the pop outs open and slid the door shut. The jarring from the bottom latch against the window cracked one of the windows.

Thanks for letting me know!
Sweet some air for my guy!!
You already know!
You’re braver and smarter than me I wouldn’t have had any luck with doing that
That is so cool!!! Thanks for sharing this with us Mike!
So happy for you 😊😊

I'm having a hard time picturing exactly what your doing with the loom

@@CrazyQuady also, I can shoot you a few pics if you tell me where to send them. If that helps.
Hey, crazy you done a great job changing out those windows.
Way to go man...that van is a beauty...and i bet it's more comfortable than your truck was lol
Really good find got lucky and definitely cool story behind that van
It couldn't have gone any better, the story is icing on the cake! 🍻
So happy you got some good windows. The air circulation will hopefully keep the van cooler for you🤙
It will definitely help!
They could be garment hooks for coats. Or the older blinds from campers that has the rings on the top of them
Big score! Van is coming along very nicely! 😊

A crazyQuady Custom Tyre cover would look cool
Love the van. I think the hook is for a pull up shade.
Those clips on the back windows were most likely for blinds. Usually, the blinds always broke on those blinds.
Maybe but unless the rest of the assembly was held on with sticky tape or magnets there's no holes or anything else
Windows look awesome Mike! Great job!
Great job on the windows, now for the screens they should be easy.
Awesome job on your new windows. Great find for $195!
Thanks!
Wow bro love the video you made it look so easy! And the van looks great!! Thank you for the content ❤
You should put LEDS inside the van on top the ceiling
great job Quady!
Awesome find and smooth installation. At least you made it look that way. You made the right decision not to purchase the doors, there would have been no pin striping. Nice progress and can’t wait to see what’s next.
great job with the windows Mike, they look great and with the screens they will be complete 💯
Love the hard work you’re putting into this van
❤❤❤❤
You are doing an amazing job on your van.
OK, I'm definately a truck camping guy myself.... Impatiently waiting for the truck adventures in the future especially any road trips West or North where the camping gets really good!
Truck stuff next month 🍻
Great find and tented that’s a win in my book✌🏽
you are gonna need some screens now or you will have a ton of bugs sleeping with you. Great build so far. Thanks for sharing.
Looking good, should help out with some air flow. That would be cool if there was a screen/fan type thing that could go on one of the windows, smaller side window maybe.

Hey Mike
Nice Job on The Windows ..
Van is Coming Along Nice !!
How About a Shore Power Outlet ..
Eventually
Love this van. Sick as hell.
Van looks great you did a great job 👍🏼❤❤❤
Gotta get the vent fan in the back over the bed next 👍🏼
The hinges on top of the windows are for when you are traveling there like little black hooks there for when your traveling and if you suit or shirt or pants you don’t want wrinkled you hang them there
They look awesome. You're going to be one cool dude now.😅. You definitely got a bargain there.
I don't know why I like watching a guy do what he does but I do.
Thanks!
Hay my friend, Dewalt makes a great little battery operated fan. Love mine
It's about time!
I used velcro with the screen instead of magnets on our back pop out windows on our 1976 chevy g10 shorty :)
You made that look easy lol ! Great job !
You seem like a good ol boy/country good folk. I wish you all the success in the world man. P.S get the truck running also just for your channels sake.
Nice video. Good job. You are very talented.
Man those pop out windows are going to make a huge difference with ventilation
You could put some screen mesh inside the window that would add more tint
I’ve been restoring one of these, you can get that window seal off McMaster carr by the roll.
Thanks!
Looks sooooo good... I was waiting to see if there was an attack from the spicy sky raisin. Looks like I am going out camping at Victoria Springs this Friday and Saturday. Get out there!
One of those dang raisins got in the house, thats never a good time 😂
Awesome, as always, Mike. Thank you for sharing. This was pretty awesome even though I'm not one of the boys, lol.
STAY AWESOME
KEEP ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS YOU
🤗HUGS🤗
That is a dope ass improvement homie💯🔥
Windows looks awesome!!
Man Im glad you got and installed them fine job I shall say. Maybe now you can get some good breeze going my friend ...🍺 Cheers 😎👌❤✌

Next purchase? Spaceship!
Then, camping on other worlds.

Looking good Mike
A lot of work for you, but thanks so much for sharing I really enjoyed watching and learning!
Thanks Larry ✌️
love you long time man. thank you boss man!!!
You know I'm gonna tea bag that bumper before I give it to you right!? 🤣
i wouldn’t expect anything less
I love the van. The windows look great. Cant wait to see your screen solutions...velcro? But idk.
First attempt at screens on the next video!
roof mounted rv ac would be my next mod
Atta boy! Good deal! 🍻
The clips for blinds bars … like in the house we got
Awesome video quady
Dude GO BACK ASAP and get the cluster. It took me a month and 3 returns to get one for my G30. Get it Bro. Having one extra is ok. Or if you need the front screen easy yo replace also.
Looks Great
Good job! I want mine done now. 😉
