Thanks for the replies. All the bulbs are new and fine, front and back. I tested each one. I still have no idea what is going on. One added thing I noticed. When I turn on the ignition and turn on the parking lights - the left-hand turn indicator is on, in the dashboard (steady). When I put the turn signal lever in "left turn", that indicator blinks but super fast. As I said before, each side in front has two bulb. One is a large dual-filament bulb and the other one of those tiny 194 bulbs. That tiny 194 bulb never lights up.
I will note that the windshield wipers and washer in front did not work at all. Ended up that was caused by a bad ground. Wiper-motor has a metal ground strap and it was making bad contact. So I guess it is possible there is another bad ground somewhere. I wish I had a wiring diagram.
The entire front-cradle that holds the radiator, condenser, etc. was destroyed in the crash and it is not a bolt-in part. I had to cut it out and weld-in a new one. When I did that, I cleaned all the ground points on it (there were four of them).
When I bought this thing - I did so because it is an usually clean van for the year. I wrongly assumed at the time that the front cradle was a bolt-in part. Boy, was I wrong. I is quite a job to replace. Plus I had to get one which meant half a day at a junkyard finding a good one and then cutting it out. Still - I paid $700 for the van and $200 for all the parts at the junkyard. That included front cradle, hood, grille, headlight assemblies, grille, fan shroud, etc. Another $200 for new oil-cooler lines and a new radiator. It runs like new so I guess I did okay. This light is the last thing I have found that is not working properly. Not sure I ever want to do another one of these though.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
