Binky, the Econoline 350
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2018 9:09 pm
I wasn't looking for this, but came across it on an auction site. I bid on it and won!
It's a 1992 Econoline 350, cargo, 7.3L IDI Diesel w/ only 56,000 miles.
Deb immediately named it Binky.
4 Wheel Drive conversion is a Dana 60 and Borg-Warner transfer case from an F-350 from Anderson AWD in Oklahoma.
It has RV seats in front and an air-ride truck seat in the back. It had a police-style computer stand next to the back seat. W/ the roof mounted antennas and the black boxes that were still inside it, well, I don't know what it was. I got it from the Idaho National Laboratory 2 months ago and It came with a Government 'title'. My friends keep asking me if it glows
When I showed up to get it, the glow plug controller wasn't working and it wouldn't start. The batteries were getting weak from sitting so long so I gave it quick shot of ether and it fired right up! Drove it 250 miles home w/ no problems.
I already replaced the glow plugs and connectors, changed fuel filters and got the A/C fixed.
The walls are filled w/ spray foam and covered w/ corrugated plastic sheet. The doors only make a muffled thump when closed.
I plan to sell off the RV seats, put the KAB air-ride seat in the driver's spot, and find some cushy, heated seat w/ a swivel base, for Deb.
It should make a great tow-rig for Frank!
I also salvaged a push bar/winch mount and a Ramsey 9000 winch from an F-350. Installing that is next!
That makes 3 E-350s (2 w/ 4wd) just on my block!
