Ah yes.... the 1979 GMC van...

Anyone that does handyman work really needs a vehicle like this.  It makes hauling "stuff" a non-issue.

It wasn't always olive drab, but I chose that color as it is a "low maintenance" color, that allowed me to repair some lower body rust without having to spend much time making it perfect-- and yet have a vehicle that looked reasonable driving down the road.  Any of the glossy paint colors would have exaggerated any irregularities in the finish-- and there are many on this beast.   It's function is pure utilitarian, it's not meant to impress the ladies (or gents).
