Features Econoline Madness Who's got one?

yes it was

 

This may be old news. The front r/l outside door handles on 61-67 Econolines are the same as early Broncos and 65-66 Mustangs. I work near Jeffs Bronco Graveyard and they have the pair for $30.00. (You will have to drill a hole for the Eco button to fit correctly. Which is no big deal.) Macs sells them for $67.95 each. By no means am I knocking Macs. The wife knows I've bought my share of parts from them. Saving $$$ is my game. Hope this helps.

Nice work on that tailgate!

 

The tail gate is from an newer style Dodge Ram. lots of work getting that to fit the hole! Also made the rear pan and installed a flip down plate for the filler with a Mustang tank.

I'm looking to sell my 67 Econoline Supervan. I've tinkered on it little bit since I bought it. But my daughters cancer diagnosis and subsequent 2.5 year battle has required our full attention. Gotta get my munchkin well, and spend my resources on wifey and the kiddo's.

Give me a shout if your interested, looking for somewhere around $1000.

That's our little fighter there in the sun hat. If you think of her and are the praying type, please lift her up.

 

I really hate to hear of ill health with anyone yet alone a young precious child like that. LOTS of prayers your way.

ALUMINUM ECONOLINE GRILLS.
I know not many of you go the route I go with the Econolines (Drag style). But I can make these with pretty much any design inside of the opening.

Thanks a ton kgdb!

 

Killer van!! Show us more pics of it. 6 deuce in a econoline... Gotta see that.

 

That's my van thanx

 

Welcome to the Madness ntk! I've seen pics of your van for some time now and I really like what you did with the wheelbase stretch. Have you got any current pics?

 

Heres some more pics of the NTK 1967 ECONOLINE
the poor vans been siting in storage for 2 years now,
but im gonna pull it out and start back on it it a month or two.
it has a custom frame, a 4.8 & 4l60e from a 2000 chevy 1500,
& custom rear independent suspionsion, & modded truck frontend with tubular upper & lower a-arms, the rear wheel well sheet metal has been moved back about 18in or so from the factory supper econoline location
i have invested about 100hrs in it so far

 

Saw this one in the parking lot (!!) of the Bouse Arizona car show last Saturday......

 

Kind of a broad question but what kind of money should these bring, in a stock style but all brand new, like real real nice.

I have a friend that has been into building 65 66 ford swb's and is now on the econoline truck bug. He goes all out powder coats the frame etc. He has about 15 into them when they are done.

I know most here go for the 1500 to 5000 nice builder or driver but,
Is there a market for these finished?

 

The vans are just like cars, trucks and everything else as far as what they're worth. Everyone says "I can build one for less than that!", then by the time they figure out that they can't, it's too late!

 

I'm guessing a nice restoration tops out at about 10G . They are super cool but not worth crazy money.

 

I think even that's high, except for maybe a very rare exception. Then again, their popularity is rising

 

What kind of mirrors are you kids using. Stock is way too ugly!!!
