    1985 4x4 Econoline - Road Trip Prep!

    1985 4x4 Econoline - Road Trip Prep!

    Hey gang... I'm new here but have been lurking for awhile. We just got a 1985 1 ton ford exonoline 4x4 van that we plan on turning into a mobile living space. It's got the huge big block engine - 460 7.5l v8 that's carbureted. So before we get to working on the interior... what are some things...
