I love Reolink cameras and software! I own 5 of them. You can set it up without any subscription too! I need two more, so I hope this coupon works for Canadians too. Or I'll just wait until Trump takes us over. ;)
Reolink makes a pretty good camera. The one I have is a few years old. The network software is a little glitchy on occasion, but still works well...and shows a great picture up to nearly 100 yards away - in daylight and dark!
Neat, I remember when you and Derek pulled this van out of its resting place. Happy to see it getting some love finally, even with an unscheduled engine swap. And Mustie is always the right reference to make when rebuilding a carburetor. That dude is the carb whisperer.
My dad had both a 70 (long wheelbase) and a 72 (short wheelbase). He bought the 70 brand new and the 72 came along later when the frame got too bad on the 70. They both had the 240 with the 72 being the three in the tree and the 70 an automatic. No power steering or brakes on either one. I took my driver's test with the 72 (short wheelbase) in December in a snowstorm. The cop was impressed with the way I pulled it out of a skid and was more than happy to issue my license. I did not tell him that I had been driving it for 3 years before I was old enough to get my license! The frames like to rot out around the steering box so you might want to check that out. Dad would have loved this video but sadly he passed away in June of 2023.
Nice work Jared! That pipe to the face was scary... my heart dropped when I saw that. Please be careful, we need you healthy and safe to produce more excellent video!
Every Sunday morning, I'm there having breakfast watching him turn wrenches. Almost like Saturday morning cartoons as a kid. I'll offer up James Condon if you like small engine repairs.
OMG! You had me at Econoline. I fell in love with these when I was a wee boy and just a little older than this one. Keep up the rustoration and the amazing work you do!!
Great to see you and your helpers clean up the old rusty Econoline. Some close calls but everyone survived, great job! It's funny how a simple carb cleaning turns into 150 lbs. of rust removal. Cheers! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁
Dropping my comment for content engagement on one of my favorite channels. Keep up the great work Jared and Dwayne! As my grandpa would have said if that hit me, “always expect the unexpected”. Not great advice but he always loved saying it 😂
@JCWren Ford's generally requires copious amounts of blood to be spilled, if you don't feel like you need a transfusion by the end of the job, better make sure everything it tight and in spec
@@Celician83 I was thinking about this, and I realized dad would always bump his head against the hood release occasionally when he was just checking under the hood of his T-bird
@@Celician83 It was quite an adventure when we had it, though most of the fun stuff was some kind of fuel delivery issue. Especially when he had the engine rebuilt and the installers forgot to take the clamps off the fuel lines. Car ran for several minutes, pulled out of the parking lot, and it died going up the hill. I wish I was there, I could give more details, but apparently a big truck almost got involved too 😅
@@docgiggles130 will it add a lot of HP? Naw, maybe 10HP, but those torque numbers are gonna jump WAY up! The only issue I could see is getting it in, the dash was already tight with the 240 coming out, not so sure the 300 will clear the dash like the 240 did.
@@Celician83 It should fit fine. They use the same basic block with the 300 having a longer stroke. Even the head is interchangeable if I remember right. That makes for an easy upgrade.
@@docgiggles130 oh yeah, more worried of him being able to get it in without taking the dash loose. Once its in the whole everything will fit just fine, it's getting it TO the hole may be a problem.
Glad you are back on the Econoline. I had one (camper van) years ago, loved it. Mine had a 302, and I swapped the 3-speed for a 4-speed top loader (on the column!) Drove all over the country in it. And glad you survived your incident in one piece.
I use harbor freight degreaser in my ultrasonic. It's super cheap and works great. Just wash it off with fresh water when you get your parts out. A cool idea with this van would have been a RUclipsr relay. You and Derick got it going, and now you're putting an engine in. Next up it should go to someone like Sleeperdude for an Ebay Turbo on the 300 and an exhaust. From there it goes out to Dalton from Pole Barn for a tractor paint low-ish buck paint job. Maybe Kevin from Junkyard digs does an interior. From there it goes down to Puddin's fab shop where Mortske flys in and they slam it on the ground and put some kind of steelies and caps on it. Then when everyone has had their fun and the van makes it across the country it gets auctioned off and the proceeds get donated to the California wildfires relief fund or some other worthy charity. Lots of sponsored parts along the way, a massive RUclips adventure for new subs and content for all.
My 73 Harley sportster build is going pretty good. And I'm almost ready to start it. It's been a struggle, but posting my story on youtube has helped. I like how you are cleaning stuff and just ask random questions. This is why i like your channel, you just are a normal guy fixing stuff. Keep up the great work!
@@average3rdgendodgeramowner273 might have been when I was sitting out of gas… the transfer jet pump isn’t transferring and left 7 gallons on one side away from the fuel pumps!
Found your page today and have been stuck watching your videos lol. You sir are the type of mechanic I can get into watching. You definitely have a new follower.
I just wish i was closer to where you are because i think id probably be around quite often lol. I live in central western georgia close to Americus @TheQuestionableGarage
Glad to see you are back on this project. This is my favorite recovery from you and vice grip garage. Y'all looked like you had a blast getting it back to the shop. Look forward to seeing more progress!!!
SUPERVAN RETURNS! I just watched the 2 old videos and was like awwwww That being said, I'm a caregiver for my disabled vet parents. My mom is getting to the point where she might need to be wheelchair bound and a half decent van would be great to have when you get around to selling it
One of my tricks when cleaning small parts, like carbs, is I'll use a can of the "compressed air" normally marketed for cleaning computer keyboards, etc. to blow stuff out rather than from the air compressor. The can uses the same straw so it can get into the small spaces as well as being g a lower pressure (usually) so you don't blow a main jet out of your hand and across the shop.
My old man was a Ford guy, had one of these in the 70's. My oldest brother owned on in the 80's, nice to see you Fixing Over that Rusty Disaster. Can't wait to drive my GMC tomorrow.
quick tip, spray the upper parts like the wheel wells and frame before you spray the axels and suspension that way if you bump into the axel or springs while you are spraying the upper parts you will not get covered in wet paint.
Glad you are ok. Being in manufacturing industry for a number of decades I’ve learned to wear PPE whenever I’m working. I’ve seen some serious injuries over the most mundane jobs. But good to see the van being worked on. Often wondered when I saw it in the background what it’s fate was
I will look into the brake cleaner, I am learning how to mig weld, got a Yes welder DP200 for Christmas from my wife. I am having a lot of fun learning, eventually I am going to start on the rust repair on my one project. 1984 Subaru Brat! EJ22 swap and 2” lift in its future. Excited to be able to build one of my favorite rigs from my childhood. Thanks Jared, really appreciate all the work you put in. You guys motivate us all!
Welcome to my 'Questionable world, Jared! I've been waiting for you to get back at this Econoline. Thanks for the update and I look forward to seeing the next episode.
Sorry about your face, hope its heals fast and thanks for bringing back old projects lately. Love the content, cant wait for the next adventure you go on!
I usually get the cheapest rust converter, spray it on, let it pickle, then do the clean up, then use regular roof paint for cold climate, that's "on rust" application. For quick and dirty, it's perfectly ok and it will last. It's meant to take on snow dragging on top of it, which is going to peel off lesser paint, so, for the underbody of a car, it's perfectly acceptable.
I have (luckily, only) one project that I'm working on with a neighbor of mine. Full restoration of a 1992 Nissan R32 GTR. It's A LOT of work let me tell you lol. Love the work that you do Jared!
The off-hand comment about using license plates to patch the floor gave me a PTSD flashback to a late 80s Geo Tracker that had 70% of the passenger side floorboard made of old license plates. I don’t know how the seat didn’t just fall straight down onto the road. It was a dictionary definition of a Deathtrap.
I have 2 projects. A 98 Grand Cherokee 4L Limited. It was given to me by a family member. I've done the cvs, steering, rocker cover gasket, crank angle sensor, pcv system and currently I'm fighting with the 42re. I have new ball joints for it, engine and trans mount. New speakers and mounts. After thats its an exhaust and some electrical work to figure out the power drain. It lives at home with me. I also have a 1997 Ford Falcon, lowered and exhaust. I have a T5 gearbox and all the bits to convert it, but as I'm in between houses and living with family, its on a mates farm and I havnt worked on it in a bit. The plan is to make it a drift/burnout car.
Good to finally see this rust bucket going again i had been waiting months to see more work on this sad ti see derek wont be helping with this due to scheduling problems but the build will be cool none the less
I’m surprised at the 10” snow forecast for central Georgia next week. These hurricane weakened trees don’t stand a chance against ice build up. Prob get another 2 weeks of no power. 🛠️
Smarter Everyday has an AMAZING video how carbs work. He even made a simple one that’s see-through and placed a high-speed camera on it, and you can see the venturi effect in action in slo-mo glory.
That thing is flipping AMAZING! I love old Fords. I have... 5 of them so far :D I love that you're working on the old girl and making improvements. My 93 4x4 has the 300 in it with the crappy M5R2 5 speed. LOL! Is on it's 4th transmission. Engine runs like a Singer sewing machine, though. I'd be interested in the old van. Would be fun to have for a shop van for my computer shop up here in Tennessee.
The first time I showed up there was in an econoline so im surprised I didnt get a call to scuff it up. But i bet it would've been tough to help with all them Jareds there lol.
I’m glad you’re okay after the exhaust pipe assaulted you. Ouch!!! Please be careful! I really admire your dedication to finding a new family for the Econoline and I loved this episode (except for the part where you got hurt 😞). Editor Duane, your musical choices were spot on again! Y’all are awesome and I really appreciate your hard work and the goodness you bring to RUclips and the world!
I had the funniest thing like that happen, it was a small inspection mirror that was wedged so I could see what was going on, fell out, maybe 8-10 inches... no big deal. But got me right in the cheek in an odd spot... little inspection mirror!!! Had a black eye for like 10 days 😅
I probably cheese people off when I add a comment about wearing steel toecaped boots - but you really should ! Saw Freiburger on a video damn near drop an oily cylinder on his foot once and he just wears sandles ... .. .
I am moving to Georgia in April and I want this van. I learned how to drive manual transmission on a 65 Ford Econoline with a straight 6 and 3 on the tree. I would even take the original engine with it and rebuild it and put it back in. My uncle had a van similar to this year so, it's a sentimental thing for me. We should definitely talk Jared.
I enjoyed this video. This van will find a good home. As far as my projects go, I took a break for the holidays. I'm chasing an evap gremlin in an Escalade and my RAV4 overheated (coolant leaked out from a bad water pump.) I hope the head gasket and head are okay.
I like those old vans, I hope it all turns out well. I had to use a forklift to pull a 350 from a Rally STX & put in a 327. the GMC is not fun... just glad I had help & the forklift at that time. Godspeed.
Ahh the memories had a 71 windowless econoline my stepdad had used for business and gave me to go to senior of high school. Some wide tires white spoke wheels and a lot of blue shag carpet and I was party central in 1975
14:50 my 5 year old came into the garage and managed to spray WD40 in her eye. I was really happy it wasn't the brake cleaner sitting next to it. After we got done with the eye flushing, crying, screaming, and snuggling, we had talk about listening and not touching things. I sold my GX470 and bought a new car so I can get my other projects done.
Hi Jared nice video 📹 and workmanship almost like my 68 Sport Van Both are looking of the chain ⛓️!!! TORQUE WRENCH ALLTHE LIFTERS AND PISTONS ALSO GET NEW SPRINGS FOR THE LIFTERS AND CARBURATOR AND RUN IT FOR US BRING TO YOUR BUYING DINO SE THE HORRS POWER
Ahhh yes i like the eay your rebuilt the that fords undercarriage. I see you put new leaf springs, new drums, new frame, new pumpkin. The Derek way of rebuilding is rubbing off on you. 👍👍
The 300 straight six is almost bullet proof. Case in point, having just got my license in the late 90's, my parents wouldn't let me drive my 1990 Bonneville until the 1986 E-150 with straight six died. Ok, we kill the van! Yeah, about that. I beat that poor thing every which way you can think of. Short of draining the oil and redlining it (which is cheating), I beat on that so bad I started to feel bad for it. Even had the thought of making it into an A-team tribute van since it had taken things it really shouldn't have been able to. However, sadly, the floor was so rotted that one day walking thru the back, my foot went thru the floor and I was standing on the rear end, at which point she was donated to Rawhide. Tough as nails motor for sure!
I've owned every generation of the Ecnoline van from the early mid engine to the 05 E250 that I currently drive and the third gen sitting in the back yard. I really like the Ford van up to the Transit. The 240 and 300 sixes are really hard to beat.
Simple Green Industrial, not the green stuff from the grocery store, mixed 50/50, works great in ultrasonic cleaners. Regular old Pine-Sol also works well. Either one should be safe for just about any carb parts, including rubber and plastics.
When you said cemetery in that area of Georgia my mind instantly went to that Tri-State Crematory that had that big scandal awhile back and I wondered if it might have been from there.
The underside looks very good and I think the van would look very good if its outside (and even inside) was painted with this kind of paint, in a cool color!
Toward the driver and up is reverse, toward the driver and down is 1st, 10:55 up and away from driver is 2nd, and down and away from driver is 3rd! Jet or metering needle is stuck or plugged!

I enjoy these bare-bones blue-collar rebuilds because they are projects anyone with a box of tools and a lot of patience can do.
I agree. Even the cheap HF spray gun is within reach of just about everyone and makes the underside look much better for little money.
@@docgiggles130The cheap HF spray gun is actually pretty good. No, it’s not a SATA equivalent, but you can get a nice finish from it if you try.
These old vans are often overlooked. Glad you're jumping back on this one!
Neat, I remember when you and Derek pulled this van out of its resting place. Happy to see it getting some love finally, even with an unscheduled engine swap. And Mustie is always the right reference to make when rebuilding a carburetor. That dude is the carb whisperer.
Thanks for not giving up on this one. She ain’t in bad shape for her age and where she’s been. That 300 is perfect for her.
About the best Ford engine produced. Absolutely rock solid and incredibly difficult to kill.

My 93 4x4 has the 300 in it with the crappy M5R2 5 speed. LOL! Is on it's 4th transmission. Engine runs like a Singer sewing machine, though. I'd be interested in the old van. Would be fun to have for a shop van for my computer shop up here in Tennessee.
The first time I showed up there was in an econoline so im surprised I didnt get a call to scuff it up. But i bet it would've been tough to help with all them Jareds there lol.
You are super speedy too!
@@TheQuestionableGarage only at the worst possible time though. It's a gift that keeps on giving lol
I’m glad you’re okay after the exhaust pipe assaulted you. Ouch!!! Please be careful! I really admire your dedication to finding a new family for the Econoline and I loved this episode (except for the part where you got hurt 😞). Editor Duane, your musical choices were spot on again! Y’all are awesome and I really appreciate your hard work and the goodness you bring to RUclips and the world!
Was under my project car last week and had my heavy magnetic light fall a few feet onto my nose. I literally saw stars and just called it a day lol
Sometimes that’s the best option
I had the funniest thing like that happen, it was a small inspection mirror that was wedged so I could see what was going on, fell out, maybe 8-10 inches... no big deal. But got me right in the cheek in an odd spot... little inspection mirror!!! Had a black eye for like 10 days 😅
@@bgee461 ouch lol
I probably cheese people off when I add a comment about wearing steel toecaped boots - but you really should !
Saw Freiburger on a video damn near drop an oily cylinder on his foot once and he just wears sandles ... .. .
I am moving to Georgia in April and I want this van. I learned how to drive manual transmission on a 65 Ford Econoline with a straight 6 and 3 on the tree. I would even take the original engine with it and rebuild it and put it back in. My uncle had a van similar to this year so, it's a sentimental thing for me. We should definitely talk Jared.
I enjoyed this video. This van will find a good home. As far as my projects go, I took a break for the holidays. I'm chasing an evap gremlin in an Escalade and my RAV4 overheated (coolant leaked out from a bad water pump.) I hope the head gasket and head are okay.
Thank you for keeping that ford going
Love the reference with the license plate floor patching :)
Keep it around, we love the van.
I like those old vans, I hope it all turns out well. I had to use a forklift to pull a 350 from a Rally STX & put in a 327. the GMC is not fun... just glad I had help & the forklift at that time. Godspeed.
Good to see you finishing this project.
I am 100% interested in this van when the time comes.
Ahh the memories had a 71 windowless econoline my stepdad had used for business and gave me to go to senior of high school. Some wide tires white spoke wheels and a lot of blue shag carpet and I was party central in 1975
"If the van's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin' " huh? 😆
14:50 my 5 year old came into the garage and managed to spray WD40 in her eye. I was really happy it wasn't the brake cleaner sitting next to it. After we got done with the eye flushing, crying, screaming, and snuggling, we had talk about listening and not touching things.
I sold my GX470 and bought a new car so I can get my other projects done.
Hi Jared nice video 📹 and workmanship almost like my 68 Sport Van Both are looking of the chain ⛓️!!! TORQUE WRENCH ALLTHE LIFTERS AND PISTONS ALSO GET NEW SPRINGS FOR THE LIFTERS AND CARBURATOR AND RUN IT FOR US BRING TO YOUR BUYING DINO SE THE HORRS POWER
I wish that camera trick could be applied to real life. Because the world could use about 4 Jareds.
Ahhh yes i like the eay your rebuilt the that fords undercarriage. I see you put new leaf springs, new drums, new frame, new pumpkin. The Derek way of rebuilding is rubbing off on you. 👍👍
The 300 straight six is almost bullet proof. Case in point, having just got my license in the late 90's, my parents wouldn't let me drive my 1990 Bonneville until the 1986 E-150 with straight six died. Ok, we kill the van! Yeah, about that. I beat that poor thing every which way you can think of. Short of draining the oil and redlining it (which is cheating), I beat on that so bad I started to feel bad for it. Even had the thought of making it into an A-team tribute van since it had taken things it really shouldn't have been able to. However, sadly, the floor was so rotted that one day walking thru the back, my foot went thru the floor and I was standing on the rear end, at which point she was donated to Rawhide. Tough as nails motor for sure!
great story Jared. Work safe!
I’d drive that! Nice work. Thanks for sharing! ❤️😎
I've owned every generation of the Ecnoline van from the early mid engine to the 05 E250 that I currently drive and the third gen sitting in the back yard. I really like the Ford van up to the Transit. The 240 and 300 sixes are really hard to beat.
Yeeessssss! Been waiting months for this video! Thanks Jared
Simple Green Industrial, not the green stuff from the grocery store, mixed 50/50, works great in ultrasonic cleaners. Regular old Pine-Sol also works well. Either one should be safe for just about any carb parts, including rubber and plastics.
And both make the garage wife friendly (the smell)
When it came to getting the funk out Dwayne did a great job!!
Oh man TKO 😮
Looks great!
Stay safe!
When you said cemetery in that area of Georgia my mind instantly went to that Tri-State Crematory that had that big scandal awhile back and I wondered if it might have been from there.
I would like to welcome today's new sponsor! Eye protection!
Georgia potentially getting 15 inches of snow? That’s more snow than what Minnesota has gotten in the past 3 years combined.
Use Zep heavy duty orange degreaser in your ultrasonic. It is by far the best cleaner.
Oooooowwwwwwwwch!
That hurt Jared!
Been there done that 😂😂🤦🏼♂️
Damn I wish I was closer, that is one of my favorite vehicles, an "Inline Econoline".
The underside looks very good and I think the van would look very good if its outside (and even inside) was painted with this kind of paint, in a cool color!
Toward the driver and up is reverse, toward the driver and down is 1st, 10:55 up and away from driver is 2nd, and down and away from driver is 3rd! Jet or metering needle is stuck or plugged!
