Dodge, but not M37......

Post by Nickathome »

There is one of these old Dodge cabover van trucks rotting quietly in a back yard, adjacent to the baseball field where my son plays little league. I see it every time I go to watch his games. I wouldn't mind inquiring as to what the owner is going to do with it. I always liked those old cabover van trucks. Its in pretty bad shape from what I can see though. Anyway, here is a site some of you might enjoy.

Too bad it's rusting away. Maybe you could "save" it? Ya gotta love those old A100 pickups/vans. They're great little trucks and rarer than the old Ford Econolines.

A-100

Actually, now that I have researched a little, I think the van may just be a Ford Econoline. I will have to take another look to be sure though. Either way, I still like them. I may try to track down the owner next time I am there.

Reminds me of the Little Red Wagon Dodge from the late '60s and early '70s that was always on the drag strip in the Hot rod mags many moons ago....

Ford Econoline

Post by Nickathome »

Yeah, Its definitely a Ford. I dropped my son off at his game the other day and took a walk and by chance the owner was out in his yard. A brief talk and the guy let me check the thing out. It looked OK until I walked to the back. Rear left of the bed was completely gone, and the leaf spring of the rear left wheel was sticking up through. Tailgate and rear bumper were completely shot. Shame. The guy didn't seem as though he wanted to sell even though he let me look it over. Oh well, no harm no foul. Probably for the best anyway as I have enough projects on my plate at the moment.
