Confused Van Project

Is this a Ford?  Yes.  Is it a Dodge? Yep.

It seems this is a 1962 Ford Van body on a Dodge frame of some sort.


Based on track width, this might be on a shortened military chassis. Regardless, the dually van look is, well, interesting.

I dig the side-exiting headers.

Tables lifted from a classroom?

This chassis easily could have been designed for something much larger.

Interior shouldn’t be too hard to complete on something as simple as this, but it’s not at all clear what’s included.

Lake Forest is suburbia, but this might be a school shop project?  I see a school bus in the background and something clearly not a suburban garage.

Yes, these old vans had mid-mounted engines.  Carrying over the Dodge mechanical bits theme, it’s a 318.
