Dave I am budgeting in a month to two months tops on restoration mostly dependant on when I start into it. I think today I will pull the bed and nose and try to put another nose on the truck with the original 74 grille and fenders. I could keep you all posted on my progress if you're interested?

I made it myself - alot of trail and error to see what worked. Im in Newington, and havent been doing to much lately, (typical winter) If you wanted to see it in person.

I love that pintle hook

Its like: sure ride my bumper, come on & bite this

I have a Captain Hook version, but I don't 'wear' it as part of my van's daily attire.

As I can't see directly behind me I don't want to hook up with someone I just bumped into

Feb, GTG and what's in the back of that van.

To save all of you digging through my gallery, here is the picture from when I completed a contract assignment in Albany, NY in Sept. 2007.

I went from their to the the family cabin (about 80 miles) north of Utica to drop off the enduro for the winter.



There are a few more photos at 2006 Ford Econoline 4x4 - Aerocell - Payload
