Driver's side view of my white 1994 Dodge B250 Ram Wagon with 60K actual miles on it from a Seattle area school district.   And a little bit of photodrop.

Everyone is all #dajiban this and #rotoform that, and I am just here sitting on some genuine Carrol Shelby Anacondas waiting for spring to install them on my '94 B250.

Front photo of a two tone burgundy and grey 1995 Dodge Ram Wagon 1500.  The paint is a little oxidized, but should polish up a bit.

Photo of Jason from VanFools "club" 1996 Dodge SWB Van Wagon with a 3" drop, front air dam from a Chevy Tahoe, front blackout, and 235/275 15 tires.  I may go a different color with the bumper, grille, and smoked headlight covers.   Either Old School Vector turbine wheels or Ram SRT10 wheels, as well.

This VDD Crush is personal. Just found this one in the PNW, and may grab it. SWB #Dajiban is on my Wish List. *Last photo shows a friends B150 in the style I want to modify it- 3"drop with painted bumpers, grille and smoked headlight covers. (But with turbine wheels)

High passenger side front 3/4 photo of a battered black 1983 Subaru Brat sitting abandoned in a line of broken vehicles in a gravel lot while a neglected CJ5 without a windshield sits far off in the background mud by the tree line wondering why it has been ostracized.

Tattered and stained black interior of a 1983 Subaru Brat, with the coveted standard manual trans and option Pepsi branded wax paper cup with straw.  (Score!)

Passenger side rear 3/4 photo of a battered black 1983 Subaru Brat sitting abandoned in a line of broken vehicles in a gravel lot.  A random plastic fuel tank sits in the bed, but that is a poor substitute for the original plastic jump seats that used to reside there.  A derelict blue Astro Van sits across front of the Brat, appearing to block its escape.

Roof photo of a 1983 Subaru...  YIKES!  That is a GIANT hole in the roof right between the sideways popup "Halo-Twin" sunroofs!!    I need a moment...

We interrupt today's VDD Crush for this song.
"$500 Brat, $500 Brat. Sure, it's horridly rusty. But $500 Brat!"

My burgundy 1984 AMC Eagle wagon facing left under the 
elevated tracks in Chicago on the Lake Street bridge over the Kennedy expressway looking south.  It is a bright sunny day with scattered clouds, but the car is in shadows from the overheard matrix of steel to support the tracks overhead.  The Randolph Street off ramp can be seen in the background to the front of the car, as can the green interstate sign pointing to the Washington Blvd exit on the expressway below.  There is a green '60s Flexsteel "Thunderbird" chair strapped to the roof rack on its way to being delivered to a client.  Two blue moving blankets protect the upholstery of the chair.  The read railing of the bridge has wrought iron stars in each 6' panel to depict Chicago's flag.

Driver's side front 7/8 photo of a '67-8 Chevrolet Suburban in seafoam green with heavy patina.  The hood, roof, and beltline areas of the SUV are heavily scorched of all paint, and light surface rust remains. This is a low trim level truck, and the front bumper are painted white and there is/was no chrome on this vehicle from the factory.  The fender emblem is missing, as it the driver's door handle.  The rear tire, and the whole rear axle for that matter are missing and the back of the Chevy is precariously balanced on some wooden cribbing.  This is a 2wd, and from the lug nuts visible on the front wheel, 1/2 ton 'burb.  Very light rust appears to be starting on the rocker panel, as well as possibly a line of rust in front of the rear wheel well.

Passenger rear 3/4 photo of a '67-8 Chevrolet Suburban in seafoam green with heavy patina.  The passenger side doors, rear barn doors, and roof area of the SUV are heavily scorched of all paint, and light surface rust remains. This is a low trim level truck, and the (halfway ripped from the Vehicle) rear bumper is painted white and there is/was no chrome on this vehicle from the factory, although from this view it appears as though the roof was painted white.  The fender emblem is present, though the passenger door handles and taillights are missing.  The rear tire, and the whole rear axle for that matter are missing and the back of the Chevy is precariously balanced on some wooden cribbing.   Very light rust appears to be starting low on the rear quarter panel behind the wheelwell, as well as a line of rust in the rocker panel.

Today's VDD Crush is yet another Suburban. (Sue me- I like 'burbs) This one is a tasty seafoam green with a white roof and desert patina that just looks perfect. 2wd 1/2 ton with "truck arms" and coils in the back, so get your NASCAR on, or just drop it cheap.

Hey, just a quick question- if you saw Charlen Heston in "Earthquake" (1974) did you feel sorry for his Blazer?

No, I don't mean what happened to it during the movie. I mean what the Art Department did to "customize" it. It was embarrassing.

Driver's side photo of a two tone blue 2wd 1994 Chevrolet Suburban with aluminum running boards parked in the shade of some industrial building.   The Chevy is a 2wd half ton, as evidenced by its five lug aluminum wheels.  This is one of the few decent exterior photos of the 'burb that didn't have the seller's booger hook hiding some part of the vehicle.

Interior photo of 1994 Chevrolet Suburban through the driver's side door showing the blue velour, console, and surprisingly tear-free driver's seat for a 283,747 mile vehicle.  Even the steering wheel looks nice.  There is some damage to the piping on the driver's fold down armrest, however.

Today's VDD Crush is a high mile 1994 2wd Suburban with limo tints and blue velour bucket seats. I've owned both a 6.2 diesel 2wd '89 and a 4wd '72 'burb and enjoyed both, so I should probably get a GMT400 at some point. It's a handsome truck in grampa spec.

Left front view of a yellow JDM 1987 Suzuki "walkthrough" van parked on a snowy driveway.  The van has a car front with a boxy rear, tall windows, silver roof rack, and looks like someone just said "Kachow!" to it.

Rear view of a yellow JDM 1987 Suzuki "walkthrough" van parked on a snowy driveway. The clamshell rear doors are open, showing incredibly easy access to the very small but very square cargo space inside.  A silver roof rack is on top for extra stuff that won't fit inside,or perhaps a wee rooftop tent.

Inside view of a yellow JDM 1987 Suzuki "walkthrough" van through the passenger door, which happens to be on the left side of the vehicle.  The seating arrangement is "interesting" with a normal looking grey  highback driver's seat on a pedestal, with a color and pattern coordinated lowback passenger seat installed on the floor in the back affording ALL THE LEGROOM.  A long straight floor shift juts through the floor near where the driver's thigh would be.

Today's VDD Crush is Oh Kei!
'87 Suzuki Alto Kei van looking like an extra from Cars just popped up for sale semi-local, and I am crushing HARD.
Could you do #vanlife in it? I would need my shins removed to sleep in it, but that wouldn't stop me from driving it everywhere.

Photo I took a decade ago of a red International Harvester steel carrier truck with cute narrow single person cab built to carry overly long lengths of steel on the flatbed and past the front of the truck on the custom rack built into the front bumper.  The truck is sitting next to an abandoned steel mill and large green weeds are growing through cracks in the pavement.  A very rusty chain hangs from the right side rack of the truck, staining the pavement.
