I just picked up a 64... its a 3w. Runs drives real well. Needs different paint wheels and some interior cleanup.

Tryin to pick a satin color... I am thinking a shade of Orange or Green. And what wheels to go with.

 

Shameless plug...... My '65 panel is for sale in the classifieds.

Thanks, Jim

Late to the party but here's the 65 I just brought home. It's a 240 with great mechanicals. First order of business are some seat belts and then some tunes.

 

I have decided to sell mine. I just do not have the time nor money to do anything to it right now. Rather see it go to a good home. I will post it with more pics in the classified area in a week or two... runs and drives great. Hydrualic brake switch was bad, that's been replaced. the floor pans in the cab need some work. I might actually replace them before selling it.

 

. Just finished painting mine, my 2nd paint job. Still have to do the 2nd color on the cab.

 

Chainsaw: That orange color is AWESOME!
You say that is your 2nd paint job?? It looks great!

cheers, Ray

 

Thanks, its Dodge header orange. Pictures make everything look good , had a problem with tons of pinholes in the paint but you can only see them from certain angles and closer then 5 feet.

Nice rides guys. My name is Carl and I just picked up this E100 last November and I'm planing to have it rolling this spring. The drive train is just about done and I'm now working on the body. I hope to have it in paint by mid March at the latest. Time will tell.

Here is a link to my build thread

This is my latest. Kinda. I've owned this one the longest. I've had 13 since I bought this one. I bought it in 94. It was sitting in a junk yard. Someone had pulled the head off the 240 and left it for dead. After messing around with it for a couple of years I decided it was too far gone to try and restore. It's a ruff old truck. Lots of hard miles on it in it's life. I still liked it and couldn't bear to part it out. It's a 67 and they only built 2025 pickups in 67. I just pushed to the back burner and moved on to different projects. It's been moved around from place to place just trying to stay out of the way. Seeing as I had most everything I needed to put it together I decided to just put another 240 in it that I had laying around. Go thru the brakes, fuel, and cooling systems. Get it back on the road as a driver. Not pretty. Just an old beater shop truck. With a lot of help from my friends, we had a bash one weekend and everybody came over and we tackled most everything in one weekend. Well. I finally got it back on the street. Still working some bugs out of it but it's been great to finally get to drive it. This is the truck that started my love for Econolines. I'm happy to get a chance to finally drive it. I'll start working on the rust issues and stuff as I go along. Just want to make it dependable right now.





Hanging around in the barn for a few years.



Spent about ten years buried in the back of the shop. Until I got a Bridgeport and lathe and needed the space. It had these green doors on it when I bought it. The yard still had the original doors from it so I bought them and put them back on it. They are a little ruff but I like the color match. This was special order Vintage Burgundy. A rare color on Econolines.



Spent a little time out back before I got my barn built. It was in good company back in those days.



Working on the 240 during the weekend bash.



I had a second axle already set up with disc brakes. Just swapped them out. Being old and decrepit we worked on it on my trailer cause it's easier the getting up off the ground. I don't have the fortune of having a lift.

Some of my friends Econo's that came to help. Eric in TN 67 5 window pickup on the left, Eric from Mississippi's 67 eight door van. My 61 three window. Thanks to the two Eric's, Steve and John from AR, and Jim from TN as well for all their help.

Wow Duane what a collection and a great story of Econolines! Nothing better than a whole bunch of Econolines.


Also thanks again for the recommendation on St Louis Spring! ! These guys are great, talked to Jim and he is super to deal with. I just ordered a new pair for 61... which he hoped to get made for me today!
