in need of some opinions on this van

Why not it seems they can still be 'original' after a body swap !!!

Haha, yep... theres plenty of `original' ones out there then, if thats the case

I'm going to mould a fibreglass van body for old chassis, just for authenticity!

These old commercials were not meant to still be used 30+ years on, they weren't built fantastic in the first place and few seemed to have ever got near any form of rust proofing, I think we are lucky to have any of them left, so do what you need to do to keep them going, just be honest when it comes time to sell I reckon.

Here is my two cents worth, if you have done body swaps, engine replacement with something close then that is fine as long as it is not hidden from prospective buyers. I have to think that cause my engine is gone and it has no interior so how can it ever be original?
However, I think that the vans/utes that are completely original with the correct body and engine should be valued higher in both monetary and historical value.
