Projects Introducing the SLEAZY RIDER Econoline!

So I have been car-less for over a year an unemployed for 3 months, Thank God I am Blessed and my wife is Rad "and has a job". This project would not of even happened except a good buddy made me a deal on a motor and transmission I couldnt refuse..So I drove to Hamber OddrodGarage's Compound in Ramona Ca... I thought I was in a different state! called good ol AAA and brought this little GEM home today.

61 Econoline Three Window Pick-up

Plans: SBF, C4, Astros or Radirs Pinner white and maybe some bellflowers tips.. later down the road lace and candy paint and some nice interior.. I made a promise I wouldnt do anything that would cost me a lot of money till I get a job!!

 

And some rides I saw on the way

 

that econoline is neat.i've got one but the rear window is a bit larger.

 

john does it do wheelies yet

 

Just remember the HILLS have eyes....we have earth quakes and fires....this place is horrible. We cleaned the place up for your visit.

 

hahahah Thank you fine sir!!!

 

maybe with my fat ass on the tail gate!!!

 

That's a nice truck! And it looks like someone has already gone trough the trouble of installing a 65-67 crossmember, so dropping in a SBF should be a breeze! You might need to widen and lengthen the dogbox though.

 

I am going to be filling your pm box, believe me ahahhaha you seem to be the econoline guru....Supposedly someone has already had a v8 in there and took it out...



Bigdaddy

 

Looks like a great start! Keep us updated

 

John did the tow truck drivers eyes pop out of his head when he saw the bright lights of the big city? Pretty sure that was his first trip out of our valley...see ya in a couple of weeks and I wanna be riding shotgun when you do the first wheelstand...

 

Nice. Looks like a solid start.

 

I'm no guru... I just did a lot of research before I bought mine and started my v8 conversion. Feel free to ask questions though! If it already had a v8 in it, then all the hard work is done. You just need another v8!!

 

I got one of those as well 292 and a c4....

 

Dude...




You have GOT to go the distance with this thing!




a little gold leaf....a little this...a little that....


MMMM HMMM

 

Yea another new member to the forward control family..........cant wait to see what you do with it

 

You know me, I dont know if I will be able to hahahaha

 

Nice ford..and tough as nails. In high school my ride was a 64 chevy van, the guys in school said it looked like an aquarium...from the flat windsheild I guess. early 60's vans/trucks held up really well.
I would de-bondo it/fix & block sand-it really straight...those lines are important. very cool !

 

Cool ride! I will keep a look out for progress photos. I am working on a window van myself!

 

Could someone maybe photoshop this with astros pinner whites, lace, metalflake and candy paint etc

 

cool econo.................

 

You got a rare one there.Cool Econoline.

 

I want one, too...

 

Nice Econo. Just bought a 62 Econo van last month. Can't wait to get it back on the road.

later,Bill

 

I want a panel Van sooo Bad but this will do for now... unless someone wants to trade me one :}

 

Those are cool little trucks! Have fun!

 

i love those old econolines. i have one on my "to do list" one day. looks like you got a solid start.

 

It was on mine for later.... but you know how it goes, deal is a deal!
