Vanner Tapestries
Description: Vantasy Customs was founded in 1974 in Los Angeles, California. While many shops limited themselves to bolt on after market accessories, Vantasy Customs went all in with manufacturing their own custom parts and running their own body shop, all in house to ensure every customer's ride achieved their desired vision. From mild to wild, Vantasy Customs made it happen, turning out some of the most unique vans of the '70s and '80s.

Description: Merle D. McNamee was a sheet metal contractor in South El Monte, California, who witnessed camping and recreational travel becoming increasingly popular in post-war America and decided to throw is hat in the ring. Utilizing his extensive fabrication skills, McNamee founded the McNamee Coach Corporation in 1952 and launched a product line called Kamp King Koaches that included slide in campers, van conversions, and even trailers. All told, McNamee was a true innovator in the RV industry, introducing concepts like foam sandwich fiberglass panels, over cab compartments, and slide out expansions that are still utilized today, and his Kamp King Koaches continue to be highly desirable by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Description: Florida has no shortage of off-road shops to lift your rig and trick it out, but if you were looking to convert a 2WD vehicle to 4WD, then Jupiter Off-Road was the place to go. Despite its understated three-bay shop and fairly rural location in Jupiter, Florida, Jupiter Off-Road specialized in creating dream off-roaders to client spec. While a lot of their builds were 4x4 van conversions, they also had their share of converting trucks, and even a few cars to 4WD. No idea how many conversions they did in their twenty-plus years in business, but we do know there are still plenty of them out there standing tall.
Description: The 'Love My Stones' ad campaign wasn't trying to get people to embrace their kidney stones, rather, they were trying to sell tires. It was a runaway hit with the '70s vanner crowd and the decals, t-shirts, and other promo items that were given away were almost more popular than the products they were promoting, and even now, decades later, they're highly prized collectibles.
