The van is a project and that is what I wanted. I am a woodworker and will be using it for trade-shows/deliveries:) When I got the van the frame had zero rust but their were no floors, so thats where we started. Used the roof from a van in a junkyard and spot welded it along the frame. Reinforced and welded the front of the frame and then dropped in the motor and tranny (66 mustang 200 w/c-4).
Sanding, dent removal, and paint are next. Thinking about going with an original "mint" ford green on the outside and cream on the inside? What do you think? The seats are original. Wheels are 14" ford 5 lugs painted black w/ the original chrome ford centercaps.
Should be done in a week or so. I will post more pictures then:) A big thank you the fmc56 (Fred Carello) for hooking me up with this van and helping me get into the early econoline lifestyle!
