Having fun Used some parts from a free lawnmower deck to make a hinge for my tailgate finally, replaced both rear shackles and hangers, and wired up the turn signals to the reverse light in the Napa taillights. Will do the front turn signals to the leds in the bumper and tint them all amber...

Got the floor in the bed finally, left it bare for a while and now decided to stain it black. Found some 60s Ford mirrors and cut them down to fit, fits the truck better than the Harley mirrors for sure, running boards coming soon, haven’t quite figured out what would look half decent to extend...

Welllllll Think I have a mating surface issue they wobbled so bad I couldn’t tell which one was wobly

Dang! I need to hang around this town man, free food I can dig

Thanks man! It’s been a blast having it driveable

Thanks man! Me too got home after dark tonight but I’m all wound up about em. They are 12.50s but on 12” wides they are every bit of 14” wide, with a 3.5” offset gona be yuge

Stacks 👍🏻 Exhaust is done, 3” from the manifolds no cat to an Amazon super10 dual 4” out of that, then up to 5” stacks that I got from a semi junkyard very happy. Sounds friggin cool. Smells much better too, without exhaust getting sucked up into the cab through the holes in the floor lol. Got...

15x12 with 3.5” backspacing, kind of rolled the dice on these looks like they should fit. Cheesed my breaker bar on the rusty lugs lol so it remains unknown for tonight.

Tires! My dad brought over some 31x12.50 15 thornbirds on VW wheels, told him i had to have them, ordered some 12 wide rims from summit this morning. Will be fabbing small diameter square tube to puff the rear fenders out to fit those meats in the back they are about 14” wide on 12” wheels.

An update Well I drove it! Had a really productive Monday last week got headlights and taillights wired up and ripped it down the road. To clear the brake booster I used a long 1/2” socket extension and a universal for a steering linkage, and a pc of bicycle handlebar to pass through the...

Thanks man![;)

Thank you man! to me that is what it’s all about. Creating something with your own hands and using parts from things that should never be considered as a fabrication material, let alone an automotive part lol. Can’t wait to see car show guys faces when I start telling the story of this thing[;)

Typical Ohio rust, **** will buff out Body was long gone, I had another econoline same body style think it was a 94 as well come to think of it. And it had terrible rot on the driver side floor pan at the body mount same as this van. Was fun to sawzall it all up, with the glass it was 1750...

How it sits Here it is, made the cab floor pan out of a set of side covers off a big diesel welder, the body mounts are made from sections of a crossmember from the old frame. Decided not to alter the econoline wheelbase, got a pair of 5’ stacks from a local semi junkyard to help fill in the...

More progress No idea why the pictures are sideways, anyways got the radiator braced up, fenders and hood on had to do some chopping on the firewall For the trans and valve covers, and some minor clearance cuts on the hood/fenders to clear the rad.

Pics Took half a day and had a hail storm, But great success.

Update ✌🏻 Much progress has been made, been a wild year to say the least. Used a long board to lever the cab on a pair of large wooden spoils lifted the rear with an engine hoist. Dragged the old chassis out and pulled the econoline chassis and lowered er right on there.

Update I have been picking the van apart over the last few days, factory wiring harness is very minimal I’m gona attempt to keep it intact and reuse as much of it as I can and just unplug the unnecessary bits. Also check out the 2x6 custom bumper mount 👏🏻 Anyways I got this RAD red 48 Chevy...

This gem is a 94 Ford E350. 8 bolt twin I beam suspension up front, Dana 61 open diff 3.55 out back hooked up to an EFI big block 460 and E4OD auto trans. I blew up my F150 back around Xmas and scooped up this beauty from a local car lot for $600. Had it roadworthy in a couple of days and drove...
