I guess you have figured out by now we have officially
named this Econoline HillBilly Deluxe.
We have set some goals as well
as what will be happening with this one.
I want it to be driveable
yet bad-ass when needed and dragstrip capable.
Below is a short
list of things that will be happening and parts to be added.
- Econoline doghouse to be reworked
- Wiring harness from donor econoline
- Seats that are a bit more comfy
- Nice guages and tachometer
- Fix the rough bodywork
- Install engine & Trans crossmembers
- Paint of some sort (haven't decided what yet)
- A bad-ass 302 engine
- C4 trans with goodies installed
- 9" rear with posi/spool of sorts
- Big meaty rear tires
- Front disc brakes
- Custom heavy duty driveline
- Dual exhaust to 4" side pipes
And who knows what else, above items are subject to change as well, you know how it goes.
