After restoring this
1966 Corvair Corsa Convertible
to TROPHY-WINNING status,
I decided that it was time for a new project.
This is that project!

In the early 1960's, Ford introduced a new line of vans and pickup trucks known as Econolines.
These vehicles featured inline six-cylinder engines mounted between the seats and a very short wheelbase of only 90 inches which gave it great maneuverability.
The front seats were mounted over the front wheel housings and since the engine was mounted inside the cab the visibility was excellent through the 9.4 sq. ft. windshield.
The pickup variant has a bed that measures 7 feet long, 5 feet wide (49 inches between the wheel housings) and nearly 2 feet deep. With the available 240 cubic inch engine the truck was rated to carry 2,075 pounds of cargo.
