Scored another Ford
OK, so it's a 86 E150 van, but it is a Ford 
Trying to decide what is useable, it has a 5.0, AOD, ragged interior, and rusty body. But it is running and driving. No title, kid hocked it to one of the title places in another state. I think I can strip enough parts to cover the $200 I gave for it. It has 2 new tires on the rear and a set of white spoke wheels, that might be worth something.
Anybody need any E150 parts? Good fiberglass ground effects and windshield visor.

Battery should count as atleast $50. What does the oil pan look like..rear sump? rear axle could be a 8.8, or 9" (last year for these is 1986) That's about $100. AOD $15., 5.0 $15., 2 tires, each $10. There's yer $200.

This was a nice conversion van once upon a time, there is still a good overhead console between the front seats, don't know if I could make use of it in an effie though.
It'll be pretty much stripped when I get through, then I'll load it with scrap for the trip across the scales.
I sort of like the idea of a bed cover from the roof panel, never thought of that one.

I think the steering column I bought was out of an 85 van. I had to shorten it a little, but it seems to work really well. It's non tilt, must have been a floor shift. I was needing the dash part of the wiring harness with about 6" of pigtail so I can wire it up. If you're interested, let me know and I can send you a pic of what mine end looks like.
