newbie with a '62 Econoline pick-up

[lectricman67]

Hey guys and gals.... working on my second Econoline truck..(first was totaled) the body is poor so I have decided to go the way of the rat rods and lower it a little and keep her looking old.... I have retained my re-manufactured engine out of my '63 along with the tranny, exhaust, seats and some other small stuff. I have got the engine tranny in and am waiting on the driveshaft... who knew that the '62 driveshaft wouldn't work with the '63 tranny??? not me... drivability is the no.1 issue as this will be my daily commuter back and forth to work.. I live in Huntington West Virginia and love playing around with these old trucks... I also have a BIG '66 F-250 I am currently working on also...

hope this is not too many pics but this is where and who I am.... thanks for having me...

Welcome to RRR!

Love the Econotrucks. That's a sweet 66 too. There are a few Slick owners on here - I'm one. Sucks about your old truck.
