bought a 79 E250 Saturday
well I purchased a Van Saturday just for the 8bolt turbine wheels on it. van was pretty solid and the contact person said the owner brought it from NC but didn't drive it much. price was right so I grabbed it up.
I was kind of surprised to see the 302 under the hood, and the emmissions sticker said 302 also. I took a quick look over and noticed the unhooked air pump and a catylitic convertor in the exhaust. I didn't think these emission controls were used in the late 70s.................... ok I've never owned an Eseries this old but have owned many Fseries from the 70s.
picking up on Friday, will try and take some pics when I get it home. I had to tell the wife I bought it for the wheels, and I actually did
cheers to a possible old school clubwagon

I saw an 87 econoline being parted out locally , might look into it and see whats left. I won't have much into this thing so might let her make up a camper plan and see where it goes.
if this thing was a E150 shorty it would be getting restored!
