Got an Econo pickup today!

Finally got one after wanting one for a long time. Got a little surface rust, but no cancer.

No eng/trans, but I hope to find a decent drivetrain real soon. Stay tuned for my stupid questions!

Dude - Those are Magnum 500 wheels which were widely available as an option on Fords of the 60s.

For a 60s Ford, they are about as Hot Rod as you can get.

Hey nice truck it looks like mine, HEY wait it is my truck!. LOL LOL LOL. When I got my 64 5 window it too had that purple faded red paint. It was deja vu seeing that truck look like a lost twin to mine.
But that one is in better body shape.
Good loooking truck and enjoy it.
