Transcript

00:00The majority of those now attending van-ins and truck-ins, to put it mildly, are not true

00:10custom van enthusiasts.

00:12They're a group that uses the van as a tool to join others in acting in uncommendable

00:17ways.

00:18I love those uncommendable ways.

00:21That's what made truck-ins so much fun.

00:27I had a reputation of being rebellious.

00:31I like to smoke dope and drink beer.

00:34I worked in Chicago, but come the weekends, the other side of me came out.

00:41Do what you want.

00:42That's really pretty much what it was.

00:43The rules were, there are no rules.

00:49In 72, everybody's getting out of the military.

00:51You're still 18 and you're working in the steel mill like me or whatever and you're

00:55making more money than you ever dreamed possible at 18.

00:59I found a van, a 64 Chevy van for 400 bucks.

01:02A guy pulls up next to me in a really nice custom old van and says, hey, you want to

01:06join a club?

01:07And he hands me a flyer.

01:08So I did.

01:09I joined the Midwest Vans in 74.

01:12It was all a perfect storm of everything and we had the vehicle to be in that storm.

01:22They considered us misfits, hooligans, wild men from Chicago.

01:29That's how they termed us.

01:31It was May 1977, Memorial Day weekend.

01:35It was at a campground at the time called Andy's Hideaway.

01:39Had this idea, let's build a town.

01:42Let's have a truck-in at this imaginary resort.

01:45We had a casino.

01:47There's a disco.

01:48Had a church too, yeah.

01:49There was a pubic barber shop.

01:51We knew that there were going to be at least a couple of vans.

01:55And when 6,000 showed up, that was probably when the shit hit the fan.

02:03The best way to put it is, the truck-in at Andy's was, it was a woodstock event.

02:12It was called Sleaze Lake.

02:15It's like Disney World on acid.

02:21There's no lifer like a low-lifer.

02:42Man, I don't know if I should have talked about smoking dope, but...
