Description: In July 1974,thousands of vanners rolled into Bonner Springs, Kansas for the 2nd Annual Truck-In put on by Vans-Am and the NSVA. Unlike a lot of other truck-in events, the Bonner Springs Truck-In was exclusively open to vans. Vanners from all over the country converged on Cutty's Campground on Friday the 12th, and the event ran through sundown on Monday the 14th. The event had several big name sponsors and aside from three days of debauchery with like-minded van aficionados, the weekend included all kinds of van-related activities and contests... those were the days, man!
Description: Based out of San Gabriel, California, Pathfinder Equipment Co. specialized in 4x4 conversions for full-size American vans of all makes. They initially offered their conversions through car dealers as an option since the manufacturers weren't offering 4x4 models for the most part, though eventually they began selling conversions direct to consumers both as turn key installations from their shop and as palletized kits for the mechanically inclined vanner to do it himself.
