got a 1961 ford econoline panel van

Hey Guy's
I got my hand's on a 1961 ford econoline panel van.
It had 140 i think but now has a 200 with 250 heads.
With 10,000 m on the rebuild. c-4 3 speed trans.new wheel barrings, master cylinders and lines, new radiator,drive shaft and more.
But it NEEDS new king pins, drag link, gear box and tie rods.
the other thing is the it had a adapter kit on the carb. so in idle it's ruff.
It's going in to the shop as soon as i find a good mechanic in Seattle/ shoreline, wa.i'l post photos as soon as i figure out how hahaha

Glad to here your search is over and your Vanning can now begin. Is that your van in your avatar pic. Looks nice.

Thanks Big W!

Thats a good looking Van. Is it as solid as it looks? and what are your plans?
Joel

I have an electrical sign co. I do a lot of vintage looking outdoor
Neon signs. So the plan is to make the van into a sign service truck .
I'll have me lettering guy do my logo and services in panit .
And all so my daily driver .
And it vary solid.

Nice Van, I'm thinking of shaving my bumpers i kind of like the Hot Rod look, are you going to leave them off?

Enjoy, sooo kool.

Saweeeet! Nice old Early Ford! Great find & congratulations with it!

i like the look of no bumper rat rod to. but i'm going for more of an old service truck look.
sooo kool if you take yous off let me know. may be we can make a deal

Nice looking van. I am right in the area if you ever need any help. I have a 65 front bumper and brackets if you're interested. Another local Econo...

I was thinking the same thing. The absence of a floor heater dates it a 65 and up. The four way flashers on the dash makes it a 66 or older. So it's a 65 or 66. If you can post the data tag from the door I can get it decoded and try to narrow it down.

Thanks Murdock!
I have looked at your van in the gallery its vary cool.
I am defiantly interested in the bumper as well as meeting other van owners.
