I had the van version ('67 falcon Club Wagon) back in the very early 2000's. It was SOOOO much fun to drive. In line six with high geared tranny that would get near 30 MPG going down the highway at 65. it would seat 8 and all the seats were in great shape. It had been a church bus.
Absolutely, jump all over it! That would be an awesome project to build and USE for your business!! Not to sell for profit, but use it for yourself. It would be cool to tow your vintage campers, or make material runs to the store with! Get your logo on the side for your rolling advertisement!!!
I have a 66 Econoline van 6 door I bought 4 years ago, just like the one my grandpa taught me to drive in. My wife calls it my money pit. Totally worth it though.
I guess you bought it. Ok by me. These are actually pretty cool little trucks. Now that you own it and you’re rebuilding it, I expect it will take you quite a while. More than your average trailer redo. Those little boxes in the back corners of the bed were for the counter weights added to help keep the rear end on the ground under braking. It was not uncommon for these to literally stand on their nose back in the day under hard breaking. I would keep the six and put a 4 or 5 speed manual behind it. (There was actually a 4 speed manual transmission version of these built, but I don’t know how common they were.) My favorite was the Corvair 95 Ramp side Pickup back in the day. These and the Dodge A100 pickup are great choices for hobby car collecting and driving. Their light weight and a proper size make for enjoyable zipping around locally. Unlike those little Japanese mini Kai trucks, these are totally street legal everywhere.
?? Bring it home and then ship it someplace else ? I missed that Rob, where is going ? And TBH, that rust does not look bad at all. My friend with several Cadillacs, once said, it's rare you find a guy who works with wood and with metal. Do you work with both ?
Congratulations Rob, that will be so nice pulling your vintage trailer!
For sure!
This is right up your alley Rob. Good buy.
Thanks Talldude

I intend on keeping it.
Oh my gosh yes! I think you all could have so much fun with it! Also can you use it to pull a small camper
That is so awesome! I’ve always wanted one. I’m restoring a 1960 ford f100
Cool Shawn
Buy,Buy, Buy. My first was a 63 econoline panel van
WOW Gary!

That is cool!
Only if you paint it to look like the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine.
I will take it under advisement
Good luck with that, looks like a lot of rust
Much cleaner than you think.

You can have an opinion if you stop at minute two and comment.

I will not be rebuilding it. You can meet that guy LIVE Saturday.
@@RobTheRebuilderFind some seats yet?
Where is it being shipped? What will happen to it when it is there?
We have much to discuss Saturday.
So Rob, where did you send it off to?
Find out on the live Saturday.
@@RobTheRebuilder Ahhhhh, (hope that don't get flagged)
If you don’t have one you can’t build one! You got to have something vintage pulling these vintage campers!
I like the way you think!
What I'm I thinking !!!!....You have Rust....😂😅😂😅

We all crazy now....
EconoCrazy!
NO
You are outnumbered!
How much?? Absolutely a ton of work. No seats? Does it even run??
