Add in things like color (in this case plain to most) and it just does not stand out as a "gotta have it" truck. While there are some of us wanting a variation apart from the heard (for a number of reasons) we a few in number compared to those who would chop it up for residual parts.

Yea I know, most don't see the beauty of a unique ride that shares a lot with.a more common rig. I have a 66 long body Econoline. I'm planninv to turn it into a tow rig for my 5th wheel.

OK I understand but that does not sound like a good basis for a trailer toter of most any size. I remember how bad the Dodge A100 pickups were. We could not park it facing down hill, the tires would slide with the park brake on.

Now if you want something different have I got an idea.

Lol! The Econoline is a all stock, numbers matching long body van, i'll be leaving her all stock. The "longhorn" will be the toter. XD
