Vehicle Description
1966 Ford Econoline Pickup Truck
Why This Car Is Special
Although it's hard to believe anyone would build a work truck or
van on the 1960s Ford Falcon platform it's true and it happened.
Underneath the unique looking Econoline sheet metal beats the heart
of the Falcon's midsize unibody design.
In 1961 the Ford Motor Company launched the midsize unibody utility
vehicle. It was well received and the company built many including
the different looking pickup truck.
There's just something always cool about a forward-control van and
we have a custom and restored 1966 Ford Econoline Pickup in our
showroom at here at Skyway Classics.
Mechanical
The front engine design of the this Ford is a well-balanced
approach to the utilitarian design with the small block Ford V8
engine placed between the front seats so the lion's share of weight
resides squarely over the front axle.
The engine sits underneath the enclosed compartment with a lid that
opens up to show its gleaming chrome open element air cleaner,
polished finned aluminum valve covers, Ford Blue painted engine
block and intake, performance carb, modified electronic
distributor, high performance spark plug wires, air conditioning,
dual exhaust system with side exits and chrome tips on both
sides.
It rides on chrome Cragar SS mag wheels and Firestone Firehawk
raised-white letter performance tires front and rear.
Interior
Our Ford Econoline has a great painted and custom twin bucket seat
interior all in orange to match the body and bed of this truck.
Check out the large LED gauges in the orange dash, the sport wood
steering wheel, body colored door panels too, orange painted engine
cover, billet chrome door handles, all done to look the same as the
body color.
Exterior
These forward control vans offer individual seats up front, and the
driver gets a commanding view of the road. Plus, the long flat
wooden floor in the bed is great for everything from carrying cargo
to your surf board.
Our Ford has been repainted in a bright shade of vivid orange on
great body panels and maintains the look like that Lil Red
wheel-stander of Bill Golden. It's all just period-correct
additions that never take away from this van's classic and cool
vibe.
Conclusion
Our 1966 Ford Econoline modified performance truck that we have
here at Skyway Classics is a great truck to have to take to the car
shows, cruise the drive-ins or take to the Drag Strip.
Quit dreaming and come pop a wheelie of your own in this truck!
