Does anybody make an HO scale model of a 1970s Dodge Tradesman Van?

Oh man! I sold a bunch of those some months ago. I think they were made by Planet Toys. They were available at Wal-Mart for a short time.

There seems to be no end to a 1964 Dodge van, but I did find this:

Just my thoughts, ideas, opinions and experiences. Others may vary.

 HO and N Scale.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

I see them at the odd show I go to and can usually pick them up for under 5 bucks.   The same company also did some Ford Econoline vans I have.   I've got a few of each and they remind me a lot like the Malibu cars.  Same packaging, same twist holder for the base and same price. 

$5 each? I paid no more that $1 for the ones I had. Some I got for 50¢ and that was new at Wal-Mart. And that's what I sold them for in bulk. Probably explains why they were snapped up so fast.
