I used readily available Ford F150 cables for supports. I assume the extended cab was necessary to fit the engine in the cab. Instead of the '64 window van , I'm building a '63 pickup. And who needs to grow up? Alas, it was not to be. I have looked at the brakes and as mentioned replaced the front shoes but have not replaced any hoses because I was unsure about disc brakes; the hoses looks find and the brakes are good but I would highly recommend taking my offer in helping change out the brake lines. Interior complete except for the Doghouse and seats. Starting a new thread for my build.
Ceramic coated Mustang headers I wanted to run a manual trans. That pretty much coincides with the birth of Japanese small pickup sales on the west coast. The end result left side I used an aluminum radiator. One of a kind driveshaft. Comments Mike, you truly are a blessed man to own this truck! Some claim it is not needed. You can improve cooling by adding a new radiator.

The first day I used it for a delivery he cautioned me to make sure when making a right turn to wait until I felt like I had gone too far before turning the wheels because you were sitting in front of the wheels. Thanks again for taking the time to look at my truck; I am sure there is too much information but I just wanted this listing to be accurate as I would be reluctant to buy a vehicle on Ebay with a vague description. The truck shifts as it should from gear to gear there; is no trick or special touch when the bushings are present. For more information about this please see our Terms of Use.
I think they get pricey once you move up to the beefy ones. Thank you for helping us to improve the use of this website. Views: 240 Average Vote: 8. Phone companies loved the space efficiency and low operating costs. The heater motor works and the heater core does not leak. Orginally came from factory with a 4-speed on the column.
Engine options were the 170 or 240ci, although Ive seen references to a 200ci. You really want a 65-67 240 truck or parts truck to start with if you want to do any swap. The unibody should hold up just fine under normal driving. Put the replacement engine back in the same way. That thing was kind of fun to drive and ran pretty good. One solution is to section the bar and add a mount to the bell.
The red Xs show where it was hitting. Instead of the '64 window van , I'm building a '63 pickup. But, they do seem space-agey and futuristic in an oddball, Hollywood B movie kind of way that really captures your attention and makes you want to thank the corporate beancounters who took a huge risk by begrudgingly approving these for production. I think they get pricey once you move up to the beefy ones. Am I your unpaid jester, to amuse you at your whim? A neighbor has a 66 Econoline window-van that his grandfather bought new, and is a very nice original old truck.
You can either pull it out through the doors, or drop it down. Here are 240 and 170 z-bars… I have no idea which is which. If the policy were cancelled…the State Police would be in your driveway, taking the plates off! Ford claimed that it could get up to 30 mpg in its ads. I did some research and the T-5 doesn't look like it has much more distance from input shaft to the lowest point on the case, though. In the first year of production early 15,000 pickups were made and sold. It's hard to make a mid-engine vehicle when the drivetrain even without much of a driveshaft takes up so much length. I think some of their grandchildren must work for Nissan now though, because someone in Finance over there had to pull the trigger on that Cross-Cabriolet Murano….
So you want to swap out that small six? Businesses were scared off by the reliability question; many truck owners wanted solid frames or wanted to posture. I had wanted the pickup originally but there weren't any around at the time. Heater was disassembled, bead blasted, painted and put back toge. The whole thing is fun to watch but favorite part is at 2:30, where they do a simple panic stop in the Econoline and the rear end flies up in the air! I think it had the 240 six. How much does a T-5 cost if it will handle 450 lb-ft of torque? Thanks very much for viewing this 1963 Ford Econoline pickup truck.
