What happened to all the shorty chevy vans? Seems like they would have gotten hot/collectible again along with everything else.

I never see one on the road and I never really see them for sale.

Oh yeah. Love them. Were they factory-made or custom?

Factory. I still see the older longer cargo vans around, but not the short dogs.

They made them until at least '95.

I remembered the Dodge was the popular model at the time? There were companies all over that did conversions and paint jobs.

Wasn't there some TV series with a short van in it?

Funny you mention it, but I too remember the boxy Chevrolet and Dodge "shorty" vans from the 70s through the early 90s. I can't say I have much nostalgia for them, but I suppose they make a change from seeing another **** crossover.
