I am trying to find a set of original seats for my Econo. Does anybody have a pair? they need not perfect just the frames would be ok, I need to replace the...
Jim, Have you thought about using the low backs from a dodge van/motor home or even the 2nd/3rd generation ford? I have a pair from a dodge in my 63 Econoline...
Jay, I was afraid they might not include the L. That's the part I need most. I'll wait and see what materializes with the other folks looking for me then see...
Jay, good info on 9"ers. Three questions: 1. What driveshaft will I need to start with to hook-up my '70 short tail-stock (attached to my '81 C4) to a 65-67...
-Jay, Thanks alot for the information on the 9 inch rear end. You probably saved me a wasted 100 bucks. Billy in the southern WV mountain heatwave -- In...
Jim, I have some seats poor shape If you can`t find some closer.Not sure about getting them to you!!! Do you need mounting brackets also? Jerry in MO. Jim G...
Dawn, here are three prices from my own dealings. 1) The self serve yards here charge about 20 bucks a drum. 2) The last pair I bought at a "real" yard cost me...
Jay! Thanks for the info. I assume bearings would have to be purchased new? thanks again! Dawn - sweating in Chicago polecat1010 <polecat1010@...> wrote:...
Bob, some partial answers: 1. When you say "'70 short tail-stock" I'm assuming it has a bolt-on yoke rather than a slip joint. That would be from a second...
I've always gotten the bearings with the junkyard drums, but the boss doesn't need to know that. A set of new front bearings with races runs about $20 at your...
Those are the numbers I pulled out of my head for two wheels' worth of bearings and seals. Probably need to adjust for inflation now. Jay (needed A/C last week...
Here's an address to a place I buy a lot from. There is a couple different prices for drums. I havn't used any of their drums but I have used Raybestos...
Before I get too far along I want to make sure this radiator that came with the Econo is a 240. I don't have any reason to believe it isn't but there are a few...
I just tried to order the 240 center sump oil pump pickup tube (C5AZ-6622-A) from Macs but they are currently on backorder and might be lucky to get one in two...
Jay, One part of this I'm not clear on, are the springs they used for the 7" rears and 9" rears identical? Can you unbolt a 9" from one van and bolt it onto...
Jeff, I have one on an engine that is out of the van. As soon as it cools down around here I'll pull it off for you. I have a complete engine that still has...
Chuck, They offered the 9" in 64 also, maybe even 63 on the Heavy Duty. They will bolt into any 61-67 Econoline. The 65-67 use a different brake cable assembly...
Jay just recently talked me through this one. The length of the axles from drum to drum is the same. The brake mounting plates are different for 1 1/2 in or 2...
When I was doing the swap It was recommended that I go for the springs and shakles from a 9" presumably since they are heavier though dimensionally consistent...

Sounds great Fred, do you mean when it cools down in the fall or sooner than that. How about emailing me directly at j.pohlar @ att.net (remove spaces). I'd...
Jeff, that's the same measurements as I came up with on mine. The other giveaway is the mounting brackets - the Econoline radiators have the brackets at the...
Chuck, the rear springs will swap between all years and axles. The U-bolts need to stay with the axle rather than the springs, but in some cases may be too...
