It’s a manufactured van. The art was in the one off custom trucks. I used to go to a lot of custom van shows with my friend who had his tricked out econoline, saw some awesome work at those shows. This ain’t one of ‘em.

There were a lot of paint and body shops that did cheapo "conversion van" jobs in the '70s. Add a porthole window, some period-popular stripes and maybe a roof rack & rear ladder (chrome, of course), and then offer some stereo speakers and carpet - done.

This one, despite being a Dodge, looks like a Ford factory offering (they had a Pinto with the same "stripes and porthole" package, IIRC.

The serious custom van shops were the ones that were capable of one-off airbrush murals and such.
