FOR SALE 1966 Ford Econoline Mini Semi

[farmer52]

Saw this in the recent edition of East Ohio Auto & RV magazine. No connection just thought it is an interesting vehicle.

Always used to see that out on old 24, before the bypass was done east of Fort Wayne. Neat truck.

Might be used as a basis to build a re-sized big truck replica.

Sure not a solid vehicle like the one in the ad.

Gregg have you been on that by-pass lately, that road will beat you to death. I took it when I went to Litiz, made sure I didn't take it on the way back.

Originally thought up to be marketed against the Dodge A series forward control trucks.

Not lately, I don't travel that far west in my current job. But we've got plenty of washboard roads back east, don't you know!

With the popularity of the C-model Ford low coe I think the Econoline version would be a hard sell.

Did Ford have the C model in 1962?

that econoline was fabricated, not made by ford.

Yes, looking at the pic one can see it was likely a pickup. The "bed" is cutoff behind the cab. I think it would be nice to see in person...a mini semi.

Tim Whitcomb owns(owned) this. He owns Bud Evers Body Shop and Don Pruden Garage which are adjacent to each other on the east side of Ft Wayne. That is Tim & Diane's home that it sat at along old 24 and it was typically hooked to a 3 car gooseneck trailer.

Terry I saw that truck and trailer at the Ducktail Run in Gas City, IN. a few years back, nice looking outfit.
