1982 Econoline Van Sitting 10 years Will It Run And Drive Home? NNKH

A generous viewer gifted me this 1982 Ford Econoline van that has been sitting 10ish years to either scrap or flip. So lets take the train up and see if we can drive it home. Should be a fun day!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

[@IAmUndersteer]

Chris, I have to thank you for your enthusiasm and positive spirit. I always look forward to your videos (and Jen’s too!) because I know even if they’re a mixed bag of drone shots, checking out old buildings, working on the car a bit, whatever-the consistent part is you. You always keep your energy up, see the good parts of every old vehicle, keep the repairs simple and to the point, and do it all with a smile. Thank you for sharing that with all of us; it’s truly been a help for years and I hope I can come buy you a beer one of these days!

[@mikescott1307]

Ditto!

[@corydriver7634]

YES! NNKH rides a skateboard to an abandoned Econoline with a backpack full of tools and gets it running and rolling! Who else does this? Love this video.

[@ram_thefirstjedi]

Literally the highlight of my KZbin notifications! Edit: I love how Chris feels the need to apologize for the randomized nature of his videos, even though that's exactly what we expect of him

[@RpmAuto]

You are a brave man, Nick. You rode a skateboard to do a Will it run. And you own a couple of tow trucks. I love it.

[@mrclassic2284]

That house could be used for a horror movie.

[@turji]

It was

[@elijahramlal7313]

​@@turjiReally? Could you tell me which?

[@RWBoykin]

Looks like you rode by a couple of 'tweakers' along the way to pick up the van. Hoping you stay safe when going across town. Congrats on fatherhood! ;)

[@Grundy_nunley]

They not worried about him they don't even know what's going on trust I been there changed my life 15 years ago

[@Ngarepairercar1990]

​@@Grundy_nunley very good

[@LAactor]

Normal for him. Peter Santenello just did some journalism on it

[@halliwedge]

I hope your country grows up a little and eventually helps those who are in need instead of making out that they are the problem. Spending time in Canada and speaking with these "Tweakers" really showed the failures of statehood to help those who struggle in life.

[@ar2043]

YEEES!!! Lets GOOOOOOOOO. NNKH with my East coast Sunday morning joe!!!! ☕️ Let's do this!!! And your video editing skills are just climbing off the charts NNKH!!!!!!

[@travissmith1484]

Congratulations on your beautiful daughter! Y’all are very blessed, I’m stoked for you buddy! The TravMan from Lake Havasu!

[@pilgrimsgarage]

I love these vans. So easy to work on, parts are everywhere. They do rust body wise but still love them.

[@TizerHare]

What's awesome about this episode is that it throws you around. You never know what to expect. Even Chris could not predict how this episode would go especially.

[@roadweary5252]

Always loved these vans. They were also used as ambulances back in the day and I was able to drive a few before they went the way this van did. Great video, sir

[@cfloren]

Guerilla style! Skate in, drive out - great stuff!

[@brianreid3494]

Nice footage of the train.❤❤

[@xpresident]

That old school double barrel shotgun was a thing of beauty. That’s a score!

[@redfox_84]

nice external hammers, 2 triggers

[@DWRivers03]

Dude, if I would’ve known, I would’ve picked you up from the train station. You literally drove right past my house.!!!!😅😅😅

[@ar2043]

Man, I am so glad that I found your channel a few months back. 🙏👍🏼👍🏼 You are such an adventurous dude and it's very inspiring. Skateboards, boats, drones, cars, expert wrencher, welder, problem solver etc. etc. etc. You do it all you are very confident inspiring. Keep up the great content. Again, so glad that I found you and the algorithm finally did a good thing and sent me your way.

[@patrickduncan9724]

I kinda like it when you skip around on the videos. It makes it more like a TV show. I also get bored easily, so it works for me. Amazing the gun is still hanging in the house. Looks like a newer black powder. I used to drive one of those vans in 1977 for work. My friends father and his brother did van conversions in the early 1970's, early 80's. Southwest Van Artist, Chula Vista< CA. Just south of San Diego. I helped sometimes. I did interior paneling. They also did custom paint, murals, Magazine quality. See, I,m sorta like you, jumping all over the place. :).... Your a lot braver or crazier than me to drive that thing. Be safe man, a good video ain't worth getting killed for. Especially with a new baby. Congrat's by the way.

[@YanoTacchinardi]

I was half expecting you're gonna find human heads in that fridge.

[@64maxpower]

You amaze me Chris. I'm very happy you didn't try the turnpike

[@64maxpower]

Lol, you are resourceful. The seat covers to clean the glass was the best

[@Paleoman52]

Man I enjoy your videos! You are so versatile and knowledgeable and not afraid to take on challenges that most people would not even consider. Great job and thanks for sharing your cool adventures with all of us.

[@JohnDoe-sd4ou]

Always looked for this Van. This conversion vans are awesome...lots body work though

[@kbschulze]

I couldn’t help but laugh, you were trying your luck on driving that thing home. Rusty tank, crappy brakes, no charging system and who knows what about the cooling system. Add in a little attention deficit disorder in the house LOL Thanks really enjoyed. Hope we see the Camaro get saved!

[@ohger1]

Bought a '77 E250 for my business - the most reliable vehicle I EVER owned. Just tires, tuneups (plugs, cap, rotor, wires), and battery. One set of brakes because it was a three speed manual (no overdrive) with a 3:90 rear end - I had to give it gas to go down hills!

[@bkemp9245]

Great adventure, thanks for taking us along!

[@troy3052]

You are the best on KZbin!!!

[@Rindarko]

Looking forward to the future videos on the the other cars at this property. Interested to see the treasures you pull from the house as well. Hope all is well with the family and fatherhood.

[@nicholasrizzo3051]

I’m dying laughing watching how distracted you get, just trying to find the title. Oh look a can opener, oh look an old rifle , oh look an attic! Haha I love it. Old boyboy is the definition of ADHD. Who knew going to look at an old van would be such adventure. The best channel around!

[@samvalentine3206]

The side track trips are the best... we never know where we'll end up and it's always good for interest!

[@mdruryscs]

Chris, you are an absolute mad man! And I mean that as a compliment! Your videos are just the best. You ways apologize for getting off topic but that's what makes your videos so unique and entertaining. You're just this fearless guy exploring everything besides being a genius mechanic. We love all the adventures you take us on. From boating to exploring abandoned homes, buildings, junkyards, and now houses. Such unique content and so entertaining and enjoyable to watch. You and Jen are the best.

[@gregsabo6371]

Can't decide if that van is more of a stabbin' cabin or a sin bin. Love the videos, Chris!

[@donjuan7428]

NNKH new post. Let’s go!

[@actorhenners]

Buy it mate. Love to see you and Jen do that place up.

[@zakerid]

Jersey taxes will prevent that purchase. If you know, you know.

[@walterrobbins4470]

I always liked that little doghouse cubby

[@dusty52267]

Great video as always. I was hoping you would fall in love with the van as a project. Jen would be a natural at helping design new interior. Looking forward to seeing what the rest has to offer. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@tedstriker754]

I can't get over those skateboards have that much range. It is nice not to have another vehicle to have to drive back if you are alone.

[@dinkerdootle]

Great video love it,creepy old cellars,nice.....

[@markeike]

I feel pretty confident most days, but I have never in my life been “I think I’ll take a train and a skateboard to go pick up a rust bucket that hasn’t run in ten years” confident. 😂

[@rapshock6162]

Van is very nice, would have been nice to see you do something with it. But take the smart route instead, but you gotta grab that Camaro!! 🤘

[@aproudamerican2692]

Really glad to see you wearing a helmet. You've got a little one depending on you too now. After 3 1/2 years of the highest fuel prices in history and now it's much much lower can only mean one thing. It Presidential election time. It will go back up if it stays the same. Probably much higher too.

[@donovanhowardmusic]

Man I was so excited for this. But then it went poop! I so wanted to see a clean up and drive. No title sucks. I love vans & this would have been killer to see. Thanks Chris for the videos. You’re definitely inspiring to watch. You make it look way easier than I’m sure it is.

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Right On, What’s Up Brother , Hopefully Mom & Baby are Well. Good to See You

[@MyCracker1234]

Your video's get more interesting with everyone that you do. Riding a skateboard to pick up a van that hasn't moved in 10 years, You can get vehicles running like water runs, it and you finds a way.

[@T0mThompson]

The vanilla mechanic is back :) Awesome mix of some nice driving, history, shopping, fixing stuff, breakdown and making cash. I really enjoyed this one :)

[@neonnoodle1169]

Great video! Do NOT leave that convertible Camaro behind....go get it! They are cool and desirable.

[@kacyz28]

Probably not a good idea to try that home remedy for bugs. I'm sure the spouse would be enthused about you coming home smelling of "exotic dancer" 😂

[@GregoryGoldson]

Hope you got that old percussion cap double barrel , nice wall hanger.. probably some collectables hidden in that house, love that kind of content, great video!

[@yetivillerx5482]

Great stuff as usual, thank you. Getting chilly here in the morning and that NNKH beanie is coming in handy! Pick one up if you haven’t yet!

[@samadamms3432]

You wear a beanie eating Tex-Mex? Wouldn’t a sombrero be more appropriate?

[@squirrelorama]

(to the tune of Neil Young's Tonight's the Night) Chris, well, he's a hard working man He loves to fix them old Econoline vans A sparkle is in his eye When parts or tools are in his hands Well, late at night when the people are home, He'll fire those noisy ol' rustboxes up, And patch a leak, repair a line or two, And in the dark, drive them suckers home.

[@LAactor]

WOW you were able to get this out?! Props to you both for being able to or planning a prefilm!! Get sleep you two. Try. Was totally going to forgo this week and it would have been understandable. So good to us.

[@sirswerve2493]

That would make a great home if time and money is spent well. Would watch every episode. now With the camero please please save that one. Good luck you guys!

Great episode. Exploring included. RockOn

[@HorsepoweredRims]

Yo Chris. U have some real nerves of steel. I wouldn’t have went upstairs let alone in the house. Btw the freight train part was a nice touch!

[@Najitaka]

That was awesome, great video. I didn't know if you'd get it running first, or get shot, mugged by a tweaker, wreck on the skateboard, get hospitalized from too many mosquito bites, or thrown out of the parts store or train for smelling like curry and vanilla extract. LOL.

[@WAVEGURU]

Personally, I love the meandering in your videos. Thanks for sharing what you do. How's the baby?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Great to hear you enjoy them and appreciate you tuning in. And she's doing good. A handful for sure

[@thescouch]

Hate to see the van not being used, but nothing lasts forever. Can't wait to see what you do next. Would like to see you and Jen pick up that house and fix it up.

[@akafrosty6175]

I had an 81' F-150 with the inline 300. That thing was awesome. Could barely make 55mph, but around town, i could haul anything. Went forever. The truck ended up rotting out, so I had to get rid of it. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one.

[@kevinmccarey5015]

Great clip, Love the old dungeon

[@jdpinbaytown]

Always love a new NNKH Video!, Looking forward to more here with the Camaro and Plymouth and the Property!, I might be wrong but I think that Econoline was a 1980-81 as 1982-91 had the Blue Oval in the Grille, Unless someone changed out the Grille and Hood, I used to drive a 1980 with a 351W as a Work Van, And it was very Rusty as most of them did!

NNKH paranormal investigator lmao, shit got spooky there for a second

[@scottnyc6572]

You were up in my neck of the woods.I was more fascinated with that house and everything that was left behind.It’s a shame because the bank will probably end up tearing it down.

[@samvalentine3206]

I wish I could get that house, go through it and then re-do it. It has a lot of potential!

Great video Chris love the skateboard parts getter😊❤

[@James-r8y4o]

Great video,,but the vanilla bug spray,,I'm from Florida. That s not going to stop my State Bird 😂

[@mikeboring1293]

Got to love rusted brake lines, we had one blow on a gmc dump truck so I did the only thing I could flatten it and bend it over

[@endtimes2100]

Watching you walk upstairs in that house was pretty creepy. You got ballz bro.

[@drewdonnelly2174]

You're a brave man Chris to drive that rig for the first time in the dark. Kudos.

The Vanilla Extract Bug Spray Had me laughing

Excited when I saw a new video. Hope all is well with the family and looking forward to the upcoming videos!!!

After you fixed that vacuum leak that 300 sounded like it was running well. Too bad it was having all those issues with the breaks, but go figure after sitting.

Honestly, I love the odor of curry. I have been around people from India and thought "You smell delicious!"

It smells good when it's in a dish. Not so good when I'm sweating it out

Awesome Chris. I love your varied content it’s awesome.

[@James-r8y4o]

Dang you missed the other rifle, behind the ladder to the attick!! 😮 Leaned against the wall

[@samvalentine3206]

It looked like a Arisaka or something, but I think it was just some wood that looked like a rifle

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah. A lot of comments about me missing that. I definitely didn't see it there but looking back at the video it looks like just a piece of wood for sure

Thanks for posting Chris
