I only though you could get them on the passenger side. Yet I saw two in a truck trader this night for sale.

My guess is that that truck trader rag had the photos printed backwards...were the vans right-hand drive too?

The first generation (1961/67) Econolines were available from 1964 thru 1967 with two left body side cargo doors, as well as the right body side cargo doors.

The second (1969/74) and third generation (1975/91) only came with right side cargo doors, either one sliding type or two conventional (hinged) types.

The 4th generation (1992/2007) began offering a left body side cargo door in 1993.

Never seen or heard of an Econoline w/"Driver Side Cargo doors" before. Would enjoy seeing confirmation they exist, especially in the '92 & up version.

I did see a Chevy or GMC 97 and up style on eBaya few months back that had both left and right cargo doors. I believe they were sliding. Must have been great for a courier truck or small time expdicter.
