Ford Econoline Pickup Rust Free 1961,1962,1963,1964,1965,1966,1967 on 2040-cars

This is a 1961 Ford Econoline pickup truck I bought in Arizona and it is still in Arizona and it is now and always has been a rust free truck. I took some pictures of the outside edge of the box and you can see all the original spot welds are still there also I took pictures of the bottom of the truck and as you can see there is no rust on the bottom of the truck. Look closely at the floor on the inside of the truck and you can see there is no rust repair at all just nice cleanly painted floors with no repairs.

     I own Kevins Klassic Cars in Cannon Falls Mn and you can look us up on U tube and look at our 200K plus cars going through Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale Arizona. The same guys painted this truck that does those cars (My shop employees) Obviously we didn't put a 30K paint job on this car but they certainly know what they are doing and this is a very nice paint job. The truck has been sitting for about 18 months so there is a small scratch in the passenger fender, there are two scratches in the front bumper and there is a small spider crack about the size of a silver dollar in the tail gate. The paint job is very nice but not perfect. I would say it is a 8 out of 10 and extremely respectable for this price range of trunk.

     The bottom of the box was professionally sprayed with bed liner and the back of the tail gate was sprayed with bed liner. We had them blend in the color of the truck with their product so it would all look the same. This was not done to hide anything as you can see the sides of the bed and the front of the bed have no bed liner on them. But I thought I would use the truck from time to time so I had that put in to save on the scratches. It has worked perfect because there are no scratches at all on the floor.(It might be because I haven't used it but who can say)

     The wheels, trim rings and the hub caps are all from a 69 Mustang. We media blasted the wheels and painted them all around and the wheels look excellent. The tires are brand new radial tires size 14 inch and they still have the nubs on them and the one still has the original sticker on it. The wheels and tires are excellent they add a lot to the truck. The front windshield is brand new and the gasket for the windshield is brand new, the corner windows are used and are not perfect but you cant buy them new but the gaskets they are sitting in are new. I have both the rear window and the side glass and you can see it in the pictures of the parts that still need to be put on.

     We rebuilt the wheel cylinders on the front wheels and got the brakes to work however this is only good for short distances and loading and unloading the truck the back wheels will still need to be done. The engine runs but as of right now we are using a gallon can for the gas source because the gas tank either needs replaced or cleaned out (Didn't try it but only guessing it needs cleaned out since it has sat in the desert state of Arizona) The carb on the trunk has been rebuilt and it starts very easily. We also put on a new exhaust manifold gasket and while we had that off we replaced the freeze plugs behind there just in case there was a problem. We didn't try the charging system so we don't know if the generator works or not. The water pump is leaking but for a car sitting around that is very common and a fairly easy fix. The truck can be started, driven and the brakes work, so if you send a company out to pick the truck up they can start it and load it no problem and we are glad to help.

     The bottom of the seats, the dog house, the battery box and pretty much so everything inside has been media blasted and painted as you can see from the pictures. The seat frames themselves will need to be media blasted and painted then have them recovered. I had a quote to have the foam put on and the seat covers installed for 500 dollars but I never got around to doing it. You will still need to buy door gaskets and felts and gaskets for the side windows. The wing windows I have both seals front and back for the wing windows on both sides. I also have new front turn signal lenses and rear tail light lenses they will be here by the time you pick up the truck.

     A lot of the work has been done on this truck all the paint and body work is done and ready to go. Mostly what needs to be done at this point is the seats and headliner on the interior, the rest of the dash needs to be put back together and the truck will need a battery we will supply a battery just to start the truck and load it but there is no battery in the battery box. Everything to this point has been done professionally and not half way.

     If you have any questions feel free to give me a call or you can come out and look at the truck. The truck is at a friends house of mine because he had a lift so I could take the pictures on the bottom. Thanks Kevin Manley. 612-275-8722 I  have a clear Arizona title that comes with the truck. I have an extremely low starting price about 1/4 of what I have into the truck and then there is no reserve. Obviously I am hoping for a lot more then that but only the bidders will determine that.
