61 Econoline PU Resto

Well we had a successful day parts hunting! Turns out the guy we bought the pickup from owns several salvage yards! He invited us out today to see if we could find some parts the 61, boy did we! Came away with a Tailgate, Tailgate pins, extra horn ring, front bumper mount and bumper, glove box cover, FORD nose emblem, battery box cover, extra headlight bezels and a door latch! I am absolutely thrilled about the tailgate, I thought for sure I would end up fabricating something. ** I would be willing to sell the extra horn ring, send me a message if interested **.



Tailgate found!





Making sure the new tailgate is a fit.

If you need a bed floor, I've got a 67 Econo Super van that has a decent one. Located in Omaha.

Last call on the bed floor. If you want it and remove it, it's yours for the taking. Otherwise it's getting scrapped.

Floor has been scrapped. 5/13

Thought about doing a wood floor with strips like the pick-ups?

Pickups are a body on frame construction. Ours are uni-body. You can make it look like one but it's gonna take some engineering and welding skills.

1961/74 Econolines are unit-bodies (body/frame is a one piece welded assy). 1975/2015's are body on frame construction.
