maybe some of you know these?
i think the blue one came from canada..

 

get rid of those new lowrider wheels while you're at it! Bagging these things isn't easy. There are a lot of threads on it. Lowering can really screw up the steering geometry and the rear will require notching the frame and floor. Just FYI

Weird! Someone put the side doors on the rear and the rear doors on the side!

 

Joe , where can i find all the threads about bagging and lowering these Econolines ?
Thanks , Herb in Fl.

 

Where's the guy in south Florida ? I'm in Ft Myers .

 

Oh really? i didnt realise the side and rear doors were the same(i haven't seen it in the flexh yet) i figured the side windows were a factory option but now you say that it all makes sense.

There is good reason for doing it though as you'll see from thses pics...

 

Herb in Florida emailed me pics of his Econolines, here they are...

64 panel, rare with no side doors...


65 panel, again rare with no side doors...


65 panel, lowered 8"




His ex 67 pickup...

 

can anyone see those pics of Herbs vans? i could see them when i first posted it but now i cant...

 

no cant see em.

 

Yeah, the side and rear doors are interchangeable. That's why you frequently see panel vans with windows on the side doors and it doesn't quite look right. Not to be confused with the "display vans" which had glass all down one side.

I can't see Herb's pix either.

 

just bought my kiddo his first hot rod 68 truck he is 11 so has a few years to build it. i will post some pics when i get it sunday....awesome trucks guys

 

Thanks for posting my pics . I can see them .

 

I think I remeber seeing the one with the engine in the back for sale on ebay a few years back, it was in the states as far as I remember.

 

how rare are the 66 no side door heavy dutys?............

 

Any one remember this one, I loved this truck when they were building it, but that crushed velvet has to go.

it makes my stomach twist to see how much that thing is at on the auction already. history or not....that thing looks like a steamy pile. whats up with the pipes hanging out in the bed?

 

I think Mac's catalog has production numbers in it. No side doors makes it a true panel van. I think they had lower production numbers, but that doesn't make them more valuable because most people want the doors.
