this is my 1966 ford econoline supervan shortly after I bought it. Its basically the way i got it. it has a 240 straight 6 engine and a 3 speed man trans. it has a 18 inch extension on the rear but its wheel base is shorter then my honda crx. I was told it has a rebuilt trans, rebuilt head and a new clutch (which wasn't i installed a new one)
please check out and rate my 1967 econoline 8-door supervan at this link http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3818667/1
i painted behind the headlight trim flat black and repainted the bumpers white
It has some rust somebody drilled 2 holes but did not protect them!!! (DOH)
Still has original hub caps and trim rings!
I am planing to give it independent front and rear suspension with airbags, power steering and brakes, a Dakota dig dash and a two tone custom paint job dodge daytona red and cream with cream powder coated wheels will post more as she comes along. let me now what you think.

Sorry for the long wait since the last update but i've been busy with work (the four letter word) Well here goes since last time i updated this page i have instaled a new distributer, carb, starter and done a bunch of electrical repairs(40 years of people doing "repairs") I need to install a new harness. But other than that i've been driveing her ALOT!! Since i bought her in march of last year i've put over 30,000 mostly trouble free miles on her.
I"ve ordered a set of new leaf springs with a 3" drop in them from Eaton Detroit Spring in in Detroit Mi USA (313) 963-3839 for $1200 for both axles. also now i can order the pwr ft disk brakes i will have to take off my spindels and send them into Master Power Brakes (888) 351-8781 to get modified for the disks they said it will take 2-3 weeks to get them back
will post new pics after i install new springs
