Windowless vans what do people think of them! can they have character and look good without the back windows? comments pictures!

do a search on Jills Van... i think she has a windowless van
i personally dont like them for looks
but if you gots yoself secret stuff to hide, theyre tops

widowless vans are good IMO.

and if you look at jills it looks really good.

i like em either way. if you were gonna modify i would get a windowless
as you can make the interior more custom that way i reckon

I love them , I have an Indigo Blue 1969 one and it looks great , possibly better in the darker colours though than lighter .

I prefer without but have driven van with and the vision is bad so can only imagine without.

Steve , that brochure is the colour of mine although I have the fluted roof , the other Ian down the road has one identical to the brochure . Visibility is a little bit worse than a normal van (had a rough red clubby van a few years ago , built it from a very sad yellow padock sitter , last seen in Sydney a few years ago , SDN421 or 420 , anyone know where it is ?) but you adapt around it . They don't seem to drum as bad as a normal van because of the verticle brace .

Character

I have a windowless van. I prefer the windowless look and you get less heat inside in summer. But it is a pain when changing lanes and backing out of parking spots. The sides are one big blind spot so you have to be extra careful.
