Dodge A-108, 1968. The Dodge A-series vans were made between 1964 to 1970 using a cab-over, forward control design with the engine placed behind the front wheels, between the seats. The configuration made it particularly suitable for camper conversions, of which there were many. The 90 inch wheelbase of the original model was joined by a longer 108 inch variant in 1968.
