New in Arizona - Intro

Hi all,

I just joined the group and wanted to say hey. My name is Dale, I live in Gilbert Arizona (PHX area). I had a decked out Econoline when I was in high school (ahhh, that was the life!). Lots of fun. Well now later in life, I'm thinking about getting another one. If you hear of any forsale near me, let me know. Anyway, I just wanted to say hey.

Thanks,
Dale - Arizona

Welcome to the forums. Keep an eye out on ebay. There always seems to be at least one listed there.

Hey Dale. Welcome, come on in. I'm sure you'll find a solid Econoline out there that will make us in the rust belt very jealous.

Welcome!

A big How-dee-do and Welcome Ya'll from the SouthEast portin of the forum.

Hi Dale, I am sure it will not take long for you to find one ,the west coast seems to have more than it share of earlies . And no rust either.Do I sound jealous ?Anyway good luck and welcome

Everyone,
Thanks for the warm reply. I appriciate it, seems like a very friendly forum. Well, I will keep my eyes open for E-Van. I don't have to be in a big hurry.

In the mean time, I'm sure I will have more questions. I will do some reading and learning here as well.

Welcome Dale, enjoy " The Hunt ".

Hey Dale, your right in the middle of the "DRY BELT" for vehicles, if there's one out there for you, it can't be too far. When you do find one it'll be pretty rust free, bigtime advantage!!! Good Luck!!!

haakowii, Yes your right living here does have its advantages at times. We don't have the problems with rust that some states have.

Here is a picture of my pickup that I restored about 12+ years ago. Thanks to it being an Arizona truck, it still has its original paint. (I Still have it, just took this picture tonight).

I'll be sure to let you all know when I find the right van and can start the project. ..... Dale - AZ

Ok...I'll bite... What Breed is it and year? I'd take a guess,but don't wanna show my ignorance. Looks clean and has held up well.Never would have know you finished 12 years ago.

I'm assuming it's a Datsun...

Way cool.

Yes itruns was correct. It is a 1965 Datsun 1200cc pickup with a whooping 60hp.
