Econoline 61-67 cab over pickup
Any Pelicans with one? Any Dodge A100's ? Any VW pickups? I always wanted one or all of the above. Would like to hear opinions about any of them. Are they reasonably driveable or do you have to spent big time just to keep them going. Am looking at a '61 Ford now and I'm tempted. I'm sure there are lots of sites to join with forums but I'd rather start here first. thanks

  Not owned by narrow minded people! I always wondered how much front brake is needed to do nose wheelies under braking ?

Those things are cool as anything. I'd love to have one of them. A guy around here has one all done up.

I had a VW crew cab ( 1961 ) with a built up 2110cc motor.
Very fun. KT

I had a Dodge A 100 for a while. It was handy and relatively comfortable to drive. The Scant Six and Torqueflite are nearly indestructable, but it was underpowered by today's standards. I scrapped it when it got so rusty it was dangerous to drive.
