Projects Another Project...1961 Econoline Van...I Must Be An Idiot!!

I know it's been a while since the last update but life got in the way again.


Well today I replaced the rear wheel cylinders, the hard lines on the axle and installed the tank finally. I was happy to find that the brakes are completely new inside but the WCs got all screwed up after sitting for 30 years.

Tomorrow is replacing the hard lines on the frame to the master, replacing the front WCs, rebuilding the master cylinder, running the fuel line.

I'm hoping to have it completed tomorrow. We'll see.

Well, I got it finished tonight.

I replaced all the wheel cylinders, rebuilt the master, replaced all the hard and soft brake lines, installed the gas tank, ran new fuel lines, adjusted the carb again, installed a set of wheels and tires I got in a trade (...not bad, just not permenant).

Few things need attended to;

1.) I need to change the rear diff fluid
2.) I need to find a good exhaust manifold or a set of headers
3.) I need to replace the plug wires
4.) I need to find the fuse and check them
5.) I need to make sure all lights work properly
6.) I need to Figure out why the new gas tank doesn't register at the gauge
7.) I need to get the wipers to work
8.) I need to get the heater to work
9.) I need to change the transmission fluid



All of this info is primarily for me so I don't forget.


Pics tomorrow.
