Sure, I can't imagine them being cheap to produce, but the time is here to do them. With the current surge in interest and restoration of vans it would be the right time to see a return for making them. There just aren't any good ones out there and rebuilding them is very difficult, so new ones will fly out the door.... I paid $300.00 for a NOS one 2 years ago and was happy to pay it.
