Cummins Powered Econoline Conversion

[Blue Goose]

I posted this in the F150 section in reply to another post but thought it belonged here too...

Centurion must have done some pretty neat stuff, checkout this Cummins 6BT powered Econoline:

BTW, it's for sale.... http://www.biodieselnow.com/forums/1...howThread.aspx

If I ever have the time and money, I'd love to buy an '80s Ford Cargo van, cram a more modern diesel and a 6-speed manual trans under it, and build myself a little camper that would haul a car trailer across the country comfortably...

I had dreamed once of doing that to my old van; Life just got in the way!

Seen some oilfield conversions when I was a kid were they dropped 4 cylinder CATS into 4wd pickups, but never a van............

They are out there, lol....

Not to mention Diesel Van cutaways were in use already in the mid-80s as Ambulances and Fed-Ex trucks

Its got a a fifth wheel tail gate, haha it would be funny to have a fifth on a van.

Actually, used to see a number of them pulling goose... The had the bed on back like a pickup, but had the van body up front.
