by zbermen Thu Dec 01, 2011 5:39 pmFirst I do know what this part is for.It was first available in 1965.I`m
curious if anyone is using this on their econo now.The econos I`ve had
two 65s, two 66 super Vans and one 67 Heavy Duty Van, did not have it on
them I found this part in my 66, in the back of the van.In a box full
of other parts.I`ve never saw it on a econo,but its unique shape had to be
important.Some years later in the process of restoring my 65 van I came
across this item in the shop manual.Not sure if I had thrown this part away
I went threw my car part boxes.I dont like to throw out anything unless I
really have to.
I finally solved what had bug me for so long.And I`ll be first to say I`m still learning about econos.Realized this part wasnt being
used on any of the econos, that should have used it.Its not a priority
part.Its not going to risk the danger to a person driving.And it already
has a support where it goes.
So I belive over time, the owners or mechanics just left it off
like so many other items.Such as the belly pan and even the the jack setup
under the driverseat. I`m going to use this part on my 65 Restoration Van.
Just for the fact that Ford did have it on there and I belive its some what rare.[url]
