    Next up is getting it out of the garage for some better photos! I have to admit, I went a bit out of the ordinary for this build. A custom dash / center console, funky seats, and a bed dedicated to transporting a lambretta scooter are a few things I did. I also cataloged the build process on my website which might be of interest. ( http://www.rustynut.co ) Check it out!

    Here's a custom grill I made as well as mounts for a 1969 Camaro rear bumper

    Here's the dash which is a custom fibergl*** part. The center console as well.

    The 302 was a challenge to keep cool so quite a few mods were done including this cold air induction. It pulls cold air from in front of the radiator.

    And here are the funky seats and tray that matches the center console.

    http://www.rustynut.co/projects has about 400 photos of the work in progress. I'll take full truck photos as soon as it's not blocked in the garage by other car projects.

    Very Nice! I had a 1964 Econoline Van and would like to have it back. Maybe you or your Econoline Friends have seen it. Thanx, Mike VanGoghBeach.JPG
