New guy with a 66 econo pickup

Hi all, been lurking for a while and figure I better introduce myself. I recently bought a 66 econoline pickup that is mostly rust at this point. I am working my way through the body from front to rear replacing metal with metal until I can put it back on the road. hope I can contribute some to the betterment of the forum, i have already learned alot from reading here.

when I figure out how to post a pic, I will post some of the truck

Welcome to the site!!!!

Welcome. Always nice to have another Econo owner here.

Ok, here goes:



this is only a rear shot but it gives a good feel of the work ahead of me

Glad you figured out how to post pics. Have fun with your restoration. I am building a 61 Econo pickup and a 65 Econo van.

I just remembered that we have another member here that lives in Va. Beach. David "Matchstick" Brooks.

thanks for the warm welcome guys.

I have the front completely apart now making panels for the floors and steps. will post some pics as it progresses

Cool, we like pics

Welcome, from the Lone Star State!

Welcome and keep those progress pics coming!

Welcome aboard. I hear you on the replacing metal. There's always something around here needing metal. Keep posting pictures. We like pictures. LOL.

Welcome to the site. Happy to see another econo comeing together. A bit of work..but you have come to the right place. what are some of your plans for this build. Keeping it stock or modifying it a bit. And YES we love pics.

my plan is to put it back on the road stock ish and then see what parts I come across. it has a 200 in it with the small rear end. It will be used as a truck when completed so a 240 and 9 inch will go in if I can find the parts I need to do it. I need a new gas tank so I am hitting the road sometime this week to pick up a mustang tank for it.

Welcome Randy,

Great to have another 1st generation Econoline owner in the area. I am in Yorktown. Looking forward to seeing your pickup progress to completion.
