New Guy in Arkansas

Hi Gang,
Recently acquired an 8 door 65 Econoline with the 240, auto, 9 inch combo. Was a casket hauler for a small town funeral home here in central Arkansas. I bought it from the daughter of the gentleman who purchased it from the funeral home in 1970. It has 25,6XX original miles on it, and is in great shape except for a few rust issues, which I am finding is pretty common. I am driving it back and forth to work (30 miles 1 way)regularly now after some minor tuneup and brake/tires, so definately having a blast. Hope to see some more Econoline owners on Petit Jean mountain in the fall for the annual meet. Already meeting some great econo owners on some of the other forums, and this one comes highly recommended!

Chopteacher first off welcome to the site. so are you a teacher that rides a chopper or a chopper building teacher? i think you get more riding time down there then we do up here in Indy and i ride all winter as long as the streets are dry i don't think i would enjoy hitting black ice it would make for a real bad day.
post some pictures of your new toy oh and the chopper too cause that is my first passion.
