Honestly, it hasn't moved much in all this time. I did get it together and got it driving, but then ran into another project that took my time, lost my job, got it back, ran into parts fitment issue, lost interest, got it back, got another project then went through a divorce, so didn't spend a bunch of time on it.
I did take it to my buddy Todds suspension shop recently, Lowboy Motorsports. I pretty much mocked everything up and said "Todd will fix it". I took it to his shop and have had a steady stream of people that wanted to buy it. I made a deal with a buddy and fellow econoline fan of mine. He is the former owner of the black bagged econoline pickup that a lot of you have seen. Todd is the one that bagged that econoline.
Anyways, at this point it is moving and stopping under its own power. It drives fine with the flipped axles on smooth roads, but doesn't like bumps. There isn't much axle clearance. Todd is going to put some notches in and dial in some good shocks to help with that issue. Otherwise its rocking and rolling. Here are some pictures of the truck and a picture of the other slow moving project that is taking my time.
