storage, leatherette and advertising

For the rear boundary of the storage space under the bed I installed a cargo net last time . For the front something more stable is needed, after an emergency brake I do not want to have all the camping stuff in my back.

So the board must hold everything. The board is bolted to the left and right bed legs. In addition, it is bolted on the bed longitudinally with angled connectors.

cutting the leatherette

For the lining of the interior, I opted for a ivory-colored leather. 13 meters are ordered from the saddlery Stegmüller, there's certainly more to report next time about it.

...as well as the ceiling, that's why the old one is already removed.

advertising and having company

To get more people on chevyvan.ch, I'm driving with this stickers on my everyday car.

Yesterday we had a visit from an "Italian Pickup". The poor one had a lot of rust, brittle hoses and a loss of oil which could compete to my V8!
