Default 1970 Econolone 100 project

I’m trying to post pix but this site is jacked up , it’s a weekend ......... I’ll try to confirm engine size but it definitely a straight six with manual tranny and shifter on the floor , has a jury rigged electrical harness , all glass is good , no cracks or fogging , worn out front seats , no bench seats , needs a very serious clean up on the inside and underneath but it’s not a rust bucket , roof has some patching with other Econoline sheet metal , some square holes cut in the floor in a few places , it’s stock looking and a strange looking scoop on top to draw air inside ............Not driving
yet , needs some work been sitting out of license since end of 2009

I had a 1980 350 box truck with that 300 6. It had 340,000 on it when it caught on fire. Motor had never been touched. got about 15-16 mpg.

I just added some more pix of the 1970 Ford E100 project van .............. Sorry seems to have duplicated my efforts , will try to remove some of these photos.
I will have more pix of the interior over the weekend, the dash pad is still in place although needs to be recovered, there is also a spare Van with this one, a 1974 model with 302 V8, I will have pix of that one soon ................
