David, I hope the muffler turns out to be the culprit. I've rolled all my own exhaust systems for the last twenty years or so, but I leave the bending to...
Bob, thanks for the suggestion and the kind words. I'll copy the two posts to the Files section ASAP. I've still got some photos and scans to post also, as...
Curious, If I wanted to lower my 1963 Econoline van (just up front) couldn't I unbolt the leafs and ride them under the I beam?? Is that how they use to do it...
hey Dan, I took the 2 small leafs out of my front springs on my 64 8 door and moved them to the top of the stack. when I got it all back together with new...
Mark, I drove by and saw your 8 door and it looks like what I'm wanting to do. How does it ride though? Is it a rough ride or can it be compensated for with...
To anyone who might be interested... I'm switching my internet provider, so my e-mail address will soon be invalid. I've switched my group e-mails to be sent...
Dan, putting the axle above the springs almost guarantees you won't be able to drive it afterwards, since you won't have any suspension travel left. Look at...
Neutral switch prevents you from starting the engine in gear on an automatic transmission. Early Econolines came with two versions. 1964 to 1966 had two wires,...
I think this one's been around before, but I stumbled onto this one today at lunch time. http://www.classicinstruments.com/index.aspx?documentID=econolinepicku...
YOWZA! Dropped Econos in Stumptown! I love it! Heya bruthas, I yanked out 5 leafs out of the front and 4 out of the rear of my Spookonoline and it set him down...
Jay in CA, I do believe you, as Herb O. sent me a pic of his slammed........Really cool looking but I don't know about as a daily driver. I am going to try to...
Hi . It was my daily driver for five years . Thanks , Herb in Fl. ' 64 Panel ' 65 Panel ' 67 Pickup . ' 67 Falcon Window Van E.E.P.C. member eBay user...
OK I am missing something here as to why this lowering is so important? I would prefer the factory in front and raised in the rear as I am not a big fan of...
Jim in Wisconsin, Thought it would make it look a little more "roddish" and always liked the raked look. Trying to go for a not often seen look especially on...
Jim good points.. personally i would buy a drop axle designed for the econo..listed in the SEQ...use 14 inch rims on the front...and drop the rear according to...
Dan, again check the clearance between the springs and rubber bumpers to see how much travel you've got now. If you subtract 1 to 1-1/2 inches from that what...
Bob, I can't say for sure, but I suspect it will. I put a '79 200 and C4 in my '62 Falcon and that one was the same as the early ones if I remember correctly....
Thanks Jay. I would have thought that an 81 would definitely have had the switch but I don't recall seeing one. It's 50 miles away so I'll have to ask. Is...
Hey Herb, I love the look of your van, but let's not forget...you live in Florida. No pot holes! If I tried that with my van, I'd leave transmission parts...
Anyone have any experience with Car trailers? Specifically the advantages or disadvantages of wood deck vs diamond plate steel deck. Jim in Manteca, fixin to...
Jay, Do you have this one yet? VIN Number: E13JH652006. Here is some of the information off of the door tag: WB- 090 Color- Y Model- E132 Body- B89 Trans- G...
Heya Jim- I truly respect your expertise here. But I have to tell you in my pick up, the bump steer really is not that apparent. My lowered truck albeit, in...
I've had some experience with both. My trailer now is a wood floor. It's ok but it does rot out from time to time. Steel diamond plate can get heavy if it's...
Bob, it's very simple to hook up. There are two small wires that plug onto the starter relay. The one marked "S" gets power from the ignition switch to crank...
