1978 FORD E250 QUADRAVAN 4X4 Here is one super cool BEAST! I recently found this 1978 Ford E250 Quadravan. This vehicle is amazing and built with a mega heavy duty four wheel drive system. The van has a strong running big block 460 V8, C6 Automatic Transmission and a divorced transfer case. Both solid axles have skid plates and are massive. I believe a Dana 60 in the front and a Dana 70 in the rear. The truck has factory Air Conditioning, although no belt is over the compressor currently and would guess there issues. The rig also has power steering and power disc brakes. The truck runs and drives and the transmission shifts smooth. It truck has strong oil pressure and holds good temperature. The van has duel fuel tanks and duel batteries. I love the color too! I have found zero rust issues and no signs of body filler. All the doors open and close tight and lock! The tires still have lots of meat on them! The driveline is complete and the four wheel drive operates as it should. The front seats are original and the truck comes with the original bench seat and several cool and usable captains chairs. I few things to point out about the rig I’ve noticed, the valve covers seem to be leaking a bit. The front end needs work, tie-rods ends etc. It has lots of side to side play currently but I have been driving it. Sadly...while parked, someone ran into the rear drivers side rear corner. Most of the damage luckily is on the factory seemed corner cap, and can be replaced with a two-wheel drive donor van. These are easy to find in your local junkyard. All and all this is a wonderful vehicle. It is a vehicle very worthy of the work. The truck is sold as found! Please feel free to call 210-548-1310 before bidding if you’ve got questions.

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals
Sun, Mar 3 2024EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment. But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
