I have 5 of them and I am thinking of posting them on Ebay for sale. So far all I found was that these hubcaps came on the 1961-62 Falcon cars. The hubcaps are dog dish type center caps. If I do post them on Ebay for sale, does anyone know the going price for a set of these?

I was thinking of making a matching travel trailer from another old econoline that i have. Using the body for the shell but removing the drivetrain to make room inside and pulling it by a tongue. even moving the rear axle forward to balance the weight. what do you all think?

It will take a little work on the body to make it nice, But that is secondary to the mechanical things, I think i have found a 9 inch rearend to buy from a guy here in tucson that has 8 of these old vans, I'm going to see if i can meet up with him tomorrow.

I was just down at the Ecology yard in Chula Vista, Ca and I found a very complete 1962 Ford Econoline Camper. It doesn't look picked over very much.

Now that I'm 18 I can sort of afford to buy one, and since I'm a college student full time, using it as a daily driver doesn't seem like a horrible idea. I have a few questions though and was wondering if any of you could answer them. What is the highest speed you would recommend driving one? Assuming they're geared properly, can they keep up with highway traffic at 60-65? How about interstate traffic at 75? I know they'll be ...
