Maybe. It depends on how big it is. Hold it up to the Econoline and see if it fits.
It looks like one end is longer than the other, which would set the mirror at an angle, which may or may not be what you are looking for.

It's online, so I can't hold it up to anything. It says it's for F series trucks and I think I've seen identical mirrors on Econos before, but I'm not sure.
FWIW, the western mirrors I have on my van now have different length arms, but I don't remember them being this different. I can always cut & weld the arms to the right length if need be. I was just hoping someone would recognize these before I waste time and money on them.

Ask the guy who is selling them to give you the dimensions of two mounts off of the vertical tube. Also you need a mounting height that just above and below your side window.

Those look like they are from a 2nd or 3rd gen truck. I've read on here somewhere that you can shorten the arm, but I think it needs to be cut offf then pressed and redrilled.

It will make the arm sit at an angle. I ve seen folks use em with the arm angled and offset the head brackets to sit straight. Personally I think that looks goofy.
