You don’t see these often—this is your chance to own a rare early ‘60s classic .

This is the first year of this EPUP model.

Trade or Sell – I’m open and will consider trading for:

Dump truck, I need one for my work.
Small truck like a F100 or Ranger.
Incomplete projects are OK, depending on necessary level of work needed
Cash is king

Trades can be plus or minus cash on either side.

What’s Included

Two sets of seats (OEM and aftermarket low-back)
Original “doghouse” & engine cover plus another.
Grill and extra set or headlight trim
Custom-built, powder-coated front & rear bumpers
3-on-the-tree shift linkage
New aluminum Griffon radiator
Extra parts inside included toolbox
Set of new American Racing wheels & tires (~$1400 value alone)
Drivetrain Details

Originally came with a 144/170 inline-6 and 3-speed manual
Previous owner began swapping in a Ford Mustang 3.8L V6 & automatic (included, but not a good choice IMHO)
Common and preferred swap for these trucks is a Ford 289/302 V8 with a C6 auto.
Condition & Background

Located in the high desert of southeast AZ, 20 miles of Tombstone, AZ 85638.

If you are traveling far, we have an AirBnB so you can visit and take-in the local area.

Minor rust on the driver’s side, manageable (see photo).
Floor and battery tray areas are solid
Cool history: said to have come from Douglas, AZ, includes shown dash magnets from local events
Project vehicle with great bones, just not the direction I want to build
Price / Value

I’m valuing this truck around $5,500, which is considerably less than the value of the 1987 Toyota 4×4 pickup I traded for it.

Do your research—these early Econoline pickups are getting harder to find in restorable condition.

Make an Offer

Don’t be shy—I’m open to offers, trades, or creative deals.
