I'm digging it!! And the transmission gear whine sounds more heavy duty than the Falcon and Mustang 3 speeds. Transmission definitely fits the van's purpose.
A very bice survivor! I gotta say it's probably because you're in Cali - I can't find one on the East Coast unless it's all chewed up from the steel cancer!!!
Put some oil on that gear shift selector. You're killing me. I grew up riding and driving one of these. Dad bought one new in 1966 for a work van in his electrical business.
@@budmorton8835 oh, okay. At times the shift lever would hang up when getting ready to go. I had to open hood next to me and reach down to move the shift linkage and then it was fine. This only happened after about 20 yrs of driving it. I loved this Econoline 100. It was a great plain and simple work truck.
These vans were so neat and fun to drive and work out of. It had tons of room for shelves, tools, and tool boxes. You kept your tools locked up in it and out of the weather.
Very nice ride you've given us! Lol! I have a 62' and am lookin forward to it as a year or so easy-going project. 😏 first step was rat-shit and crack-pipe removal. Lol!
@@MisterMikeTexas, Definitely didn't go hug my girlfriend right afterwards. Lol Mine has the 170cid which is cool.. I guess.. hah Kept asking the fella that had it to sell it to me. He donated it to the 'Wheels of Time' auto museum in Peoria Illinois when he died, among a lot of cool stuff he had. I contacted that gal running that place, out of season. She asked what I wanted to offer them and I said "How's zero grab yah? And she said "Although that's a compelling offer, how would you feel about a couple hundred bucks donation to 'The Wheels of Time'!? Lol! I said that's cool we made the deal and she gave me a couple admission tickets in for the price. Hah!
I had a few Dodge A-100 vans and a couple of A-108 vans. I really miss my one 69 A-108...had a 318 V8 and 727 auto trans. Used it as a daily driver for years.
Slap on a large vinyl Mystery Machine wrap with orange hubcaps and you got yourself a scooby doo van...that kicks ass...did you end up selling it yet ?
