    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

    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.
