It's all '85 Econoline except for the cab and clip.
1975/91 Econolines use the same sheet metal, except for the lower grille panel.

1975/78 is different than 1979/91.

1975/78's also use a different grille than 1979/91's. 1975/78's have round headlamps, 1979/91's have rectangular headlamps.

Me too! The steering wheel is a nice detail. Incorrect for the Monkey Face, but cool.

Can you imagine trying to drive in today's traffic with those little mirrors?

Nice Merc.

Ours had it's stock motor hooked up to the transmission but then it got strange. If memory serves me, it went to a chain drive. It would seat about 12 people. Rumor had it that it came from the Fort Dix base.
