Nice!
Funny thing is, when I see an old pickup truck riding low like that, I can't help but to think, "Gee, that truck needs new springs." <G>

I know. I actually do not like the looks of short boxes. Looks stubby. I like a long look but not slammed to the ground.

AD- I had a International Travelall (75) that looked lowered but it wasn't. The springs were just tired but I loved the stance. I wish to hell I wouldn't have sold it.

Sweet truck!

I'm partial to that series, I had three '72's, and one '71. This was the best of the 72's:

It met it's untimely demise shortly before I got married... :'(

Cool to see another one rolling along!

That is or was a very nice looking truck! Sorry to see it get mangled. Doesn't even look like the engine was salvegable?

Love those old Fords. Everyone does an old Chevy, but the Fords are starting to get some respect.

That's why I have always liked international's. Everybody has Ford, Chevy and dodges. Rare to ride in a IH. But yeah, it seems everyone wants an old Chevy. I'm a Ford guy.

I'm fond of the first generation Ford Econoline vans. I may actually get one some day and fix it all up as an awesome shop truck.

The pickups are extremely rare. The first gen Econolines were very prone to serious rust issues, so there are not a lot of surviving Econolines in the Northeast. I imagine the pickup had similar problems, compounded by much smaller sales.

I almost bought an E-van 5 or 6 years ago. It had a reasonably good body. It was missing the engine head and the cylinder walls were badly rusted. I would have still bought it for the $150 the guy wanted for it except that I had no workshop at the time.

I would like to find the Falcon version of the van with the finished interior and 4-speed manual on the column.

I guy in my car club has a V8 Econoline van. I'm sure it could be for sale to the right buyer.....

No thanks!
I saw one once that someone manage to shoehorn a V8 into. It wasn't a very successful transplant. Ya see, if I get my hands on one, I want it to be a daily driver, and I want to actually haul shit in it. No room for an oversized engine, and no desire to feed a V8.

I gotcha. You do lose some of the utility in the conversion process. It's still bad ass, though!!

There was an origional Arizona Econoline truck version for sale here on CL a few months back. I was toying with picking it up. I dig them too. They are rare.

My first car was a '62 Econoline rust bucket, so I a bit of nostalgic connection to that vehicle.
