Casey Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Wow, it lives! I wasn't familiar with this truck at all, but it gives us a good excuse to encourage Round2 to design a new 2'n'1 early Econoline pickup/van kit. Asymmetry rules.

Ramfins59 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 That actually looks kinda cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randx0 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I don't know about asymmetry ruling ,but this looks pretty cool . I second the release of any of these flat front pickups or vans I am kind of partial to the Chevies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluhead Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The Pacifica is certainly a very cool truck. If that's not enough to inspire one of the big kit guys to finally give us an Econoline, Van-Go certainly should be! If you've never seen this thing, you're missing out. http://www.myrideisme.com/Garage/Church/914 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 A 1st gen Econoline van and pickup along w/ a 1st gen Bronco would be neat future subjects for Moebius to go w/ their '67-72 F-series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 if a item I have been waiting for ever shows up I have the inattentive plan of making a resin of the body. The Jada die-cast Econoline? There's a eBay seller offering some very unique things, including a Lumina APV and '91-ish Dodge Caravan, based on the Brookfield Collector's Guild die-cast bank, so I'm hoping he eventually decides to do the Jada Econoline in resin. Now, these resin offerings are merely shells, with hollow insides, but they appear to be fairly well done as far as slammers go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A first gen Chevy/GMC van would be nice, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 I've heard the Jada Econoline is pretty innacurate, though. Yes, but it's be more of a "closer" starting point for me. It'd be far easier for me to work on a resin shell and make changes than to a die-cast body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It ain't pretty! Would love to have a stock model though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 But it's just a STOCK lookin van just slammed. I mean it's cool lookin, they ALL were back then, but I don't see the big deal. It's JUST slammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Jada's Econoline is about a quarer of an inch too wide . if someone were to slice it through the center and glue it together , one MAYBE could do a halfway decent copy of an Early Econoline . I've thought about doing it , but I have too much Movie prop work and diorama work going on to even consider doing a model for me now .............

It's JUST slammed. The blue van in the first pic is not remotely stock...heavily customized front and sides...a '60s vintage custom, apparently.

I think George was referring to the "Van Go" Econo in Chris' link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
