My 64 econoline truck

I can't post pics yet but I will get some up in a week or so. I am now the proud owner of a 1964 Econoline Pickup. It has a 170 with 3 speed. It's kind of rough around the edges but when I saw it I had to have it. I've been looking for an old ford truck to restore and show off and make a daily driver out of and I wanted something unique that you don't see every where. I think I now have the perfect truck for that. As I start working on it I will post pics of the progress and will most likely be referring to it as my vuck (van based truck=vuck, my cousin came up with the name lol).

Welcome to the site and we all look forward to lots of pics. Nice to see another Vintage truck/van getting some well deserved attention.

Welcome. Some folks call them vanups too.

Thanks for the welcome guys . I will get pics up as soon as the site will let me

you can send them to me and I can post them for you. mdcsr173rd@yahoo.com

Email sent. Thanks . Should be a quick copy and paste too

Here are the pics.

Hey man thanks for posting those for me. Like I said she's a little rough around the edges and missing a few pieces but she's all mine

Glad to help. Have fun with your project. I have a 61 3 window I am restoring/customizing. Also a 65 Econo van.

Looks nice. Just have to look after one piece at a time. Trying to redo it all at once will baffle the mind, and stress you out. So start with one thing, and before you no it...there will be the smell of fresh paint.

I've been working on cars since I was 16 so this will be fun to do although I usually only do the mechanical work. The body work will be the real challenge, and finding a front windshield.

a friend of mine sells new Econo windshields.

How much does your friend sell a new replacement for?

All the vans here are projects in one form or the other. Glad to have you here. Keep us posted on your updates as you go

A guy on ebay makes the corners and some other body panels for our Econos and Dennis makes a rear roll pan and will soon have front roll pans available.
