    I may regret this, but I’ve been working on this 1964 Econoline for 13 years and I’m about 90% of the way there. Indeed, all the hard stuff has been tackled and mostly the interior walls need to be finished up.  Unfortunately I have too many projects, and this has sat untouched for the last two years.  I recently started back on it and it’s got new points, plugs, condenser, rebuilt carb (plus a new one in the box) and it now runs great.  When I purchased it the previous owner had spent a lot of time and money getting a really solid body into excellent shape.  Everything else on the truck needed to be addressed. I bought it solely because the body was so good, and other than paint it and adjust the doors, I haven’t done anything else. (I know there is a little bondo on the front and rear roll pans, but the rest of the body appears solid and rust free. Probably the pans were a little dented and smoothed out, but truck looks like it’s never been in an accident. The body was in primer when I bought it and previous owner said he used seam sealer throughout.  No rust has come through since I’ve owned it,) I’ll admit to myself I’ve got over $40,000 into this build but it’s probably more. These trucks are getting more rare everyday.  I would have killed to find one in remotely this condition when I was looking, so hopefully someone will see the value.
    Some of the things that have been done:
    $5,000 Paint job, inside and out (2007 PT Cruiser color)
    Floor and engine cover sealed with bed liner by PO. Nice job.
    Completely rewired with Ron Francis Wiring Block.  All new color coded and labeled wires. Block has room for many more circuits if needed.
    Disk brake conversion on the front, Rebuilt 1967 dual reservoir master cylinder for greater safety.
    Ford 9” rear end with 3.5 gears for easy cruising
    200” inline six from a ‘72 Mustang
    New Cragar 15” wheels
    Custom Grill, Blue Dot Headlights, 50’s Pontiac tails with LED bulbs
    Custom polished aluminum dashboard cover
    Clifford Performance split headers with Patriot Exhaust
    Kenwood stereo, Rockford/Fosgate subs, Pioneer amp, sound proofing through out with Fatmat
    Custom carpeting in cab, including wheel wells and under dash


    It's up on ebay, but when I link to it the link is my own, and shows my reserve.  (Search for "1964 Other Makes" and it should come up.  It's yellow.)

    I haven't been to this site in a while and I'm having trouble posting pictures.  Will post if I can figure it out!

    Yes, that’s mine! Thanks for finding it. I hate that I didn’t finish my vision, and if it doesn’t sell then I probably will, but I’m just busy with other interests. Thanks agai!

    No, I didn’t sell it! That was high bid. I have it up there for $15,500 firm. I wish someone here would buy it. It’s a lot of van for the money.
