LOL i bet theres alot of that undiscovered that used to go on
the closest ive found in one of mine was an unsmoked joint that had fallen down the side of the seat accompanied by about $15 in silver coins

I used to own a similar double door van back in 1975 to 1980 had some great times in it as well travelled all over with it mine was a 1963 edition

Did think anyone would ever find the dope LOL

The first bay window dual cab my uncle did a resto and lift kit on had a similiar story. It had been rolled onto it's side and hit a tree in an accident. Damage wasn't too bad and required a new pillar and 3/4 front clip. When he removed the dash etc to do the repair to the front he pulled the heater vents and windscreen demister vents out and thought they felt a bit heavy. Further investigation led to find that the heater tubes/ windscreen vents and fresh air vents were all packed with hoochie poochie. He then started to pull the rest of the interior out to find about $20 or $30 worth of coins under the back seat. Some guys i went to school with found out about it and wanted to buy the old hooch. It honestly looked like it had been there for years and all got dumped much to their dismay.
