Gee , a ‘60 Metro van with hardly any rust , that makes it a great starting point for a frame driveline swap . The Ford Econoline has about the same wheelbase and will slip right under with minor mods . But it will require custom offset wheels to get the track right . If one was to go with the patina, money saved on body repairs could offset the cost of the chassis swap .
