302Powered Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I traded my Falcon Wagon for a new toy today. Plans for this year are to fix the leaks and get it running great. Next year will be a drop, better wheels, bodywork and a V8 swap. http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee288/308Powered/1965%20Econoline%20Pickup/IMG_20130414_160118_352_zps734dda89.jpg http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee288/308Powered/1965%20Econoline%20Pickup/IMG_20130414_160108_677_zps35e81ab1.jpg http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee288/308Powered/1965%20Econoline%20Pickup/IMG_20130414_155851_355_zps8574373f.jpg http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee288/308Powered/1965%20Econoline%20Pickup/IMG_20130414_160133_571_zps873c59a0.jpg http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee288/308Powered/1965%20Econoline%20Pickup/IMG_20130414_152045_560_zps43c9d878.jpg -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Mike, we talked at C&C but seriously, that's one of my all-time favorite trucks. SOOO unique and just a fkkin blast to drive. If I knew someone would've traded you the Falcon for that, I would've bought yours and made the trade myself! Looking forward to seeing it at HD Sawmill or C&C sometime soon. If you never put a V8 in it it'd still be cool. A drop is a welcome enhancement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to be able to drop it by the end of the summer. Before that happens, I need to fix all of the wiring issues and the fuel system issues. I've never seen so many fuel filters on one vehicle. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the burnout in front of the house didn't work lol. How much does it weigh? If the info I have come across is correct, somewhere in the 2,400 lb range. When I got home, I found 2 more fuel filters and an electric pump near the tank. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
