Description

There's just something always cool about a forward-control pickup, and this 1965 Ford Econoline shows it off nicely. It's a blank slate with a ton of potential and a few nice upgrades already in place.

This has the clean lines of a cool/classic panel pickup. And the American Racing Torq Thrust D wheels give this a touch of sportiness. Plus, it really has a ready-to-work attitude with the large bed and high sidewalls that made these Econolines famous. It's this utilitarian attitude that's seen in the full presentation, including the body and red paint. It makes for a kind of cool patina pickup or rat rod project that can make for a cool cruiser. This one has plenty of distinctive touches, like the attractive full-length trim and desirable five-window cab.

These forward-control trucks offer individual bucket seats for the kind of added comfort you don't often get in pickups. Like the exterior, you're going to find a well-used patina style. So those who want a rat rod wouldn't change a thing, and all others will see a nice base for their restoration project. And no matter how you choose to move forward with this Ford, the setup on these is ideal, where the driver gets a commanding view of the road, well-placed auxiliary readouts, and a well-balanced mid-engine layout.

Ford's sturdy inline-six is mounted in between the seats for a nice weight balance. It has a proper look of honesty, just like the rest of this truck, but it also has the right signs of maintenance for a proper driver. It includes a newer fuel tank, exhaust, and an aluminum radiator. It fires up readily and shifts smoothly on the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. This package feels quite good going down the road, and the upgraded wheels allow for a newer set of Cooper Cobra tires.

True vintage style and permanent utility make for a distinct truck ready for you to write its next chapter. Call now!
