Well, when you get that going, I want that bed you have with the tool boxes, and the other stuff we talked about!LOL

Yeah, that would be awesome if you could set it up. If you could get someone to go through the yards in California also. Guys have told me the yards in SoCal are full of old rust free trucks.

Don, have a good one. I'll try to stop in over the next day or so, since I'll be off.

Now see, right there is an example of a big problem here. That's the mind set of "being retired" that causes so much work (that some misguidedly call fun) as opposed to actually practicing the mind set / religion of "being retired". You guys have a first thought of a parts cleaning sink.

My first thought was how great a fish cleaning station it would make!

Don, thanks for the pictures and dimensions, that thing is perfect for what I have planned in the shop. (A tear down and clean up station) and it will shine up all sparkly.
The Econoline pick ups are great, especially the ones that came factory with the 240/I 6. Easy conversion to V8 although I'd never do that. Used one for a parts runner when I worked at the Ford dealer in 64/65, the big six had plenty of snap for that light little truck.

Just a thought, Don:

The Air Force used a LOT of those first-gen Econolines, all painted blue with yellow lettering.

It might make a neat addition to your Air Force Station as a "shop truck".

Those tenants that owe back-rent would fear seeing it pull up out in front.

G'day, all!
