I have looked over the net for images of fe panelvans. Think i found 4. Heaps of fj/fc/ek/fb/eh etc. Vans.
Why arn't their many fe's. Is it because they r the rarest of holden panelvans???

Wow ,didnt expect this. Thanx guyz. Thanx to Stewy& custum FC & Zulu for your flicks.
Zulu, is that a stationwagen with rear doors welded or is that how they came out.
Either way looks cool...unusual.
Noticed some had no front parker lenses. (These must be early make models?) &
one with ol oil bath air cleaner.
Now we are up to about #11 photos of FE VANS on the googlenet.
Anymore out there or is that it.
PLEASE SIR, CAN I HAVE MORE...

Hey DDog. You asked about Greg's van, this is how she looked a few years ago.

A big block in any ol' holden surely is a massve undertaking. Can only imagine the man hours that had to go into that.
So no crash box in that one. But as for JB's photo,that is just a piece of art.hours & hours+days,weeks or even years into that beast.
Everything about that is PERFECT.What a weapon. I'm sure we would all luv 2 c more images of that one. Thanx JB.
I think that makes #13 FE VANS.      BRINGUMON.

Hey DDog,

All FE Panel Vans left the factory with no front indicator chrome. Only the Special Sedan and Special Station Sedan had those. All others (Standard Sedan, Standard Station Sedan, Business Sedan, Ute, Panel Van) had NO blinkers as standard equipment. (FE parking lights are in the headlight, like the 50s Beetles.)

Even the standard FCs had no blinkers. But on those the parking lights were integrated into the grille, so it's less obvious.

You could buy an accessory kit to fit blinkers to standard models.

And ALL FEs had oil bath air cleaners. Almost all FCs have them as well. The paper element was introduced in late '59.

Hope that trivia is helpful!

cheers
RET

Before and after. The van got some use too, the dogs loved it!
Sold it to Glenn and he won't sell it back so have to do another one.

Before photo was at Mareeba North Queensland.

The new van at present we are thinking EV over a 10 year build. So will wait for better tech. I have collected all of the bit for the shell, and will wait until I move back to Aus yo start them with my son.
I have a wagon with same time frame that I will most likely slot an LS3 into.

It's certainly not where I thought it could have been then. Maybe I've seen it here before. It's just like the shed & the van my father had many years ago in central NSW.

Thanks to RET for all that trivia on the FE's.   and to custonFC ....what tha..is that custom van got HD front panels (all modified of course)& is the rear HG ass end?
Very...very unusual, but a lot of skill invoved into that creation. also looks like a black sheperd hiding in the background of that photo with dogs in car.Got one of them
myself.&a white sheperd.&a bullterrier.&2 CHI's (missus dogs). Gotta get the young fella to put some flicks up of my van, i'm not that computer  literate to get them up
so when we i pull it out of back shed i will post them here.its coverd up by THINGS& DUST. (last rego'd in 1995)off the road ever since but kept clean fuelled up &running.
Starting new project...Fe ute shell on one tonner chassis (probably 5 year project) Hay ,whose in a hurry.may just end up drag car depending on compliancing here in QLD

That custom van with the HD quarters was for sale on Gumtree a few years ago.
