1981 Ford Econoline

1981 Ford Econoline E350s like this one in existence with this body/driveline set up. This van gets a lot of compliments and starts a lot of conversations. Yes, there are cheaper 4wd vans for sale. There are, but there are no older 4wd vans that have had this much mechanical work, thought, and detail put into them that are a completed vehicle. This van is a bargain for those that know what they’re looking at.
