New guy with a Van

Hey Guys,

I am new to this forum. I recently picked up a 1982 Ford Econoline. It has the 4.9l Straight six with the auto. I was in the market for a truck but this caught my eye and was well maintained and in pretty good shape. I am currently revamping the interior cargo space, giving it an update from wood paneling, getting it tuned up, and then giving it a spray can paint job.

I bought the car for hauling car parts, house stuff, wood, my dogs and for going to the beach.

Hopefully, I can get some good info out of the forum.

I plan to do a small "build" thread.
Obligatory pics:
