    Here is the picture Gary was trying to upload.

    The clear lenses on the front turn signals were on the 1961-1962 Econolines, but easily swap with the amber ones used from 1963-1967.

    It is hard to tell in the photo, but if there are four bumper bolts across the front of the bumper, then it is 1961-1964. Two bolts on the front and two on the top of the bumper indicates 1965-1967.  The bumpers look like they stick out like a 1961-1964 bumper.

    The red lights over the headlights were an option that many government and utility companies ordered.  They are called ICC lights. The early 1961 ICC lights were mounted down lower.  Thus these appear to be 1962 or later.

    IMHO - based on my research, this is a 1962 Econoline.  I welcome discussion.

    Barnabas,
    Thank-you for the review - 1962 fits the time frame of the Bell Telephone logo on the door. They replaced that style in 1964. Typically a corporation is diligent on being current with those things.
