[FC] Re: Corvan versus Greenbrier

[EconoUSAParts at aol.com]

      I would respectfully disagree with the reference to Greenbriers being 
more valuable or more sought after than Corvans. I do understand that 
Greenbriers have more interior features but a lot of that stuff is worn out,others 
still remain like new for the fortunate few. It may be true in some cases but if 
you ever go to a van meet you will see that the majority of customized vans 
arent window vans. Most "vanners" dont want windows in their vans,well at least 
not a lot of them,especially side windows. I get emails all the time from folks 
wanting me to keep an eye out for a decent van body for them to restore. The 
majority of them specify that they want no window van bodies and prefer doors 
without glass in them also.
      Im not saying that's the case for all people since I know a lot of 
folks arent customizing their vans but rather just having a good time with 
them(sometimes in them too) or using them for daily transportation. I know 
myself,having several different vans,that I kinda like driving my window vans around 
town since its better visibility. However, when its time to hit the road and 
attend a meet or camp out,I want the privacy of a no window body van. I do still 
like rear door glass in most cases but that sometimes interferes with murals or 
paint schemes. Lets face it,without rear glass of somekind that opens, these 
ol vans get pretty darn hot unless you are one of the lucky ones who have 
installed A/C.
        I ve had a few inquiries about my Corvan and even been asked by one 
person if I knew where to get no window doors to replace the rear ones on it 
with glass. I do have a set already but I havent heard back so Im guessing no 
sale there. Anyhoooo,that's my 2 cents.
