Jared I don't know if the difference in format of this episode was intentional or not, but I absolutely loved how much more engaging you were with the camera while doing your work, and rather than a time lapse with background music we got to see commentary with a little fast forward rolled in. It really feels cleaner and more enjoyable overall. Glad to see the new spirit of the channel.

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

Trying to keep both! Sometimes the process will take a really long time and the Timelapse works well, but when time and situation allow I enjoy being able tot air you all along

[@ghomerhust]

in several videos with a lot of time lapse, you can tell that Jared is talking to the camera but it sometimes gets pushed together to keep the video from being way too long

Yep, I was thinking the same thing about the format. Nice vid.

[@beaseac]

I like the last idea... Something that would be affordable by pretty much anyone, something cool, and with some modern touches.

[@Spike9803]

When I graduated High School in June of 1973 I drove across the country with 2 buddies; Massachusetts up to Canada, down to Southern California then up the coast. Our vehicle? A 1971 Ford E100 Van; 6 Cylinder, 3 on the tree! That was the heaviest thing I have ever done. Three teenagers stoned out the whole trip! 50 years ago next June. I was gone for 2 months and spent $330.00, but it was worth it. What an adventure! Cheep thrills. Put Alice Cooper's "School's Out" into the 8 track tape player and CRANK IT UP!! Your Van is a classic. Vanners love these old trucks. Econoline Vans were commercial vehicles and ran forever. Nice score. Thanks for churning up some great memories.

[@vandangosvc8609]

Absolutely love the period idea! Take it to some truck-in's / van runs and show it off. Vanners would love it. 😎

[@Hi-TechHillbilly]

A guy can definitely see the influence of you hanging out with Derek lately. Approved.

[@joealex65]

I'll be dipped! 😂

[@Danny__D]

I can't believe it, but I have to cause I'm looking right at this episode

[@Jzatloukal]

Still really like the idea of keeping it simple. 300 straight 6 with EFI (factory or otherwise), add on overdrive, overhaul the suspension and that would be a great cruiser. The slot mag, side pipe freak van look would be pretty cool. Too much shag carpeting though and you might as well call it Pink's Pleasure Palace.

[@patricks8086]

Whole heartedly agree. A nice 300 would still smoke the tires if you want. Slot mags and side pipes would be too cool. Put in some shag carpeting and maybe Mexican blanket curtains… Yahtzee!!

[@undissatisfied1557]

Ford 300 or building up the original engine was what i was thinking I'd like to see. That would be super fun to watch. The camper/tow rig idea seems cool too, but you may want more power eventually and the budget build is better.

[@DIRT4649]

I'd love to see a turbo'd and built Barra for a lazy 500 or so absolutely bulletproof ponies (and somewhere north of 600 lb:ft of torque) with the slot mags and sidepipe as a tow vehicle with a sleeper setup in the rear... but I am Aussie :)

[@buggerlugz6753]

I'd take the LS out the Lexus and throw it over the vans back wheels!

[@randomdude4669]

That's effectively a barra swap

[@steveharper3559]

Oh and for sure the duo you did with Derek getting it out on the road was the absolute best of the “ will it runs”!

[@dadonthetube]

I vote for your idea of a period restoration. I think this would be cool to encounter in car shows with signage that shows everybody what it looks like stuck in the woods and the process to get it out and restore it. Period restoration for the win!

[@grunkohlaktionar7474]

Yes, do a period build 🙌🏻

[@Seafairoysters]

Put in a 300 six. Fords best six then do period uild

[@AlanG58]

I'm all for your idea! Period correct van. I've fixed a number of rust heaps and this isn't one of them. It looks great as it is. Some slot mags, maybe even Cragars of Keystones, side pipes, shag carpet interior.. That would look badass.

[@chaserwilliams1]

This is one of my fav pulls from Derek. The big white 4 door Caddy and this. I think your idea of the period build is perfect!

[@brockmitchell3989]

A period build sounds perfect for this van!!! Great idea for sure!! 😊

[@klc3478]

I agree with you. Build the engine that’s in it (they are awesome, trustworthy engines) and keep the same transmission or another manual if that one has issues. Do something cool with the interior but keep it simple so it can still be used for a parts runner. Put some cool period rims on it (I always loved Cragars but Keystones were cool as well) and just drive and enjoy it. Can’t wait to se you and Derek together finishing this! You’re my two favorite KZbinrs!

[@devonsmith9821]

My brother had a 69 model E100 with same engine and auto trans. I vote for camper as I'm fairly certain a guy can find most of your various specifics from boneyard camper vans - and therefore would be simple and budget friendly......

[@someonebald2022]

The "Barra" swap is appealing, but I think the "Retro Mod" idea is the one to go with. Just don't go mad with the fur and fuzzy dice!!

I think the Berra idea is awesome😁 And make it a mechanic van. With buildt inn toolboxes and parts for more revival episodes with VGG. Maybe a towhook so you can take a cartrailor with you😊 a Nice sterosystem for the long drives and 2 comfy carseats😊

Wow Jared, she came out looking really good! Nice work so far. Why not make her a lightly-hot-rodded, daily-driver, parts-getter with an 80's look and a quick-REMOVEABLE "party table" in the back? She could haul a driveline or new trans or a car door or hood in the back in the rain, right? ;)

[@mongo5888]

Found you through Derek's channel, and I gotta' say Im impressed so far. I love that you are saving such an awesome, often unloved piece of automotive history, and Im really feelin the idea of doing a period build and hot rodding the existing engine. As much as I love a V8, everyone does it and the Inlines get ZERO love, which is seriously sad as they are awesome engines. I just subbed to the channel, and I'm very excited to see where this goes. Much love from Toppenish, WA State. 🤘

[@danielharder2052]

I am amazed at how much paint was left under all that rust

[@jamesjohnston9225]

I like your idea about a bumped up cruiser with a cool interior. It is also inline with what you were saying about a feller/fellette and a buddy doing something themselves. For the one that just tinkers with autos, the appeal of seeing a restoration that only requires a shade tree and a Harbor Freight tool kit is rather appealing. I also agree with Ryan in WA, below that the format was very good for this vid.

[@geremiasalvo3406]

I love the idea of hopping up the original engine, some nice wheels, get everything working steering, brakes, etc, usable interior, hope you get Derek to help you should be fun!!!! Big improvement hard to believe it’s the same van that was sinking into the earth and becoming part of the woods!!! Looks great!!!! Make a great parts hauler!!!! I learned about your channel from you helping Derek on VGG with his builds!!!

[@roytrenneman2200]

I think a period build. That thing is a survivor and it has so much character. The more original the better! 👍

[@evanruhl249]

Definitely keep the 240 in there! Lots of comments saying "300s are easier to find parts for", but the two are identical except for the rods and crank I believe. An Offenhauser intake with a 2 barrel for a bit more HP and torque seems to be perfect for a period correct mod. If you decide to go 4.9, the stock MPFI really bumped up the HP, and a '96 will have mass air flow for a taller cam grind

Your period correct idea is awesome, please keep the original motor and just add the tweaks as suggested!! What a revival!!!

[@spikeallen5926]

Jared, I would go for a best of both worlds approach. Stuff a nice 300 in it with Holley EFI, upgrade all the suspension and brakes (6 cyl. 3/4 ton stuff), granny low 4 speed for occasional towing, letter it up with a period correct look, bed liner the interior and have a great parts chaser/utility van. If you could figure out how to put the 4 speed shifter to the column, WOW!

[@libertysgarage8411]

Yes!!! A good, solid rebuild on the 240. Bump the compression up a little, cam upgrade, Offenhauser or Clifford intake with a small 4 barrel, dual outlet header and side exit exhaust. I think one cool touch would be to duplicate the doghouse in a clear material so you can see that tricked out six banger!

[@ericepps6020]

Now this van cries out for white letter 60s with new, white wagon spoke wheels; and a “Keep on Truckin” sticker for the back window.😎👊🏻🔥

[@weberlane]

Big fan of building up the 240, going with the AU/down under option, or dropping in a 300. Please keep it Ford I6! Huge fan of the 3 on the tree. Driving my buddy's 1983 C10 with 250/ 3 on the tree alway makes me smile.

[@SchnelleKat]

Those SOS pads did amazing!!! I Love the idea of keeping it an 240 Inline 6, I think it would look great as a periord correct build maybe track down some Discontinued parts like Morso valve covers, or a Finned holley?. Make it a 2 or 4bbl with nice throaty exhaust, little cam? I dig the bench seat idea.

[@JackBWatkins]

Still have enough room to be a parts getter and for a day trip taking some friends fishing, bird hunting or to go watch a race. Dressed up enough that Freddy would diffidently ride in it, hoop-tee enough that Tyler would maybe ride in, but true to it’s life in the woods that Ed would not even come near it.

[@TJuddy]

The period build yes. OMG yes. This country was built by a veritable army of forgotten workhorses just like that. The fact that one even exists is crazy. Hot rod the 240, and make it a fun driver.

[@MrAPCProductions]

100% 200hp 240 is very doable and with a short trailer hitch could be a great (period correct) hauler/camper. I know, my dad had one.

[@lisghaigfblyaniwrfvb]

If you haven't yet named this van, I suggest Lazarus. Truly brought back from the dead! Also, I love the idea of building a low key party van. My first car was a GMC Safari, and that's exactly what I did. We could load up coolers, grill, and all the fixin's, then when we got where we were going, I could pull the seats out and have nice couches to go with our tailgate party. So many great memories!

[@daddybiggs9343]

[@markbennett6658]

It’s ‘Unquestionable’ that Jared is in his groove doing these rescue videos. It reminds me of the Budgetbuildz channel which I also enjoy. He rightly says that a lot of viewers want to see cool old stuff being brought back from the brink in an affordable way more than putting twin turbos on Lamborghinis. This van should be kept totally stock looking but made reliable and just a little livelier with mostly period parts used.

[@brandonzilka1274]

This van turned out to be so cool! I love your idea to keep the overall look and add some period mods. Swapping in a Ford 300 engine gets a huge thumbs up from me, also. Low key visual interest, practicality, reliability, and comfort are what I think should be the goals for this wonderful van.

[@jimdieseldawg3435]

Hey Jared 🙂 Love the old Econoline. My take is: modern brakes, suspension work, decent engine and auto transmission to make it an occasional tow rig, and D-ring load-securing eyes bolted through to the chassis in the rear. Patina stays (that’s non-negotiable for car guys 😆 ). Then use it as a gofer/parts-chaser. It would look epic with “Questionable Garage” and a period phone number in period font in faded/patina white 🙂

[@obenwahkenobib8899]

Agreed; also some modern (not chromey) wheels Rust reform and truck bedline the entire interior!

[@tcin10asee2]

All of this with a 302!

[@ed0c]

i think you should turn it into mobile workshop. all tools/work bench. maybe even power converter so you can have welder/air comp. an old revived van able to revive other vehicles has great irony

[@kingcountrytowing]

Dude! You really are the hardest working guy on KZbin, hand scrubbing the can with wire wool, that's torture. I think I need to arrange you a motor!

[@distantcomets]

Really fun project, and I can't believe the improvement after all that elbow grease. My vote is for where you're leaning: restoring it to some version of an 80's appropriate van. That late 70's early 80's style of van life was a crazy moment in car culture, and, in a way, it's just come back last year. This project would be a really fun way to bridge those two eras via a video series. Throw in some engine updates to address the malaise era power problems, some sweet era appropriate mags, and then get some crushed velvet going in the interior after you weld up those rust holes near the wheel wells. Bonus points for an 8-track player :)

[@davidkroth]

Here we go!

[@jamesmorris7074]

I rescue vw busses. I’m subscribed and enjoyed your revival with Vice Grip Garage. You work well with him. “Never build a business on leased property, buy your own “. I wish you all the best on your channel.

[@FilmoretheVW]

Jared, even after hearing your idea of hot rodding inline 6 and throwing on some neat wheels, I'm still liking the offhand suggestion of building this van into a basic camper van you can take on other revivals or just camp in whenever, dress it up a bit if you wanted to, but turning it into a camper van doesn't necessarily need to be that expensive. I'm an RV mechanic myself, and building something low budget for it wouldn't be terribly difficult: maybe build a platform to fit a full size bed, slap it in the back of the van, get some storage drawers underneath, done. Route in some fresh and gray water tanks into the van and a small sink housed in a countertop, that'd be easy with swappable jugs...routing in a basic 2/3 burner propane stove top could be really easy with a single propane line and mount a tank somewhere internally or externally for the rig, then slam in some overhead storage, before you know it, you've got a basic camper with still a substantial amount of space for hauling as that van is a pretty long chassis, food for thought. I'd love to see that, but even if you don't build it like that, I can't wait for the next video! Awesome video this time around, as the van looks amazing after this wash!

[@freeandresrivera]

Agreed. Simple budget camper build. Some insulation, a surface to sleep on and a bucket full kitty litter. Maybe add cooking, auxiliary power and a work surface if ambitious. Bonus points if you can rig a Starlink.

[@southernkyadventures9851]

Love the van. My dad had a '72 with a 302 in it. He put dual exhaust on it, and it was honestly one of the best sounding rides. Thanks for bringing those memories back. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.

[@flubernugets24]

Really love this series and can't wait to see more old vehicles you save like this. Turned out great! I think you should go with a "best of both worlds" sorta build. Keep the look period correct both inside and out. Keep the patina on the exterior but make some minor upgrades to modernize the driving experience and comfort of the van while keeping the old school look.

[@Squatcho]

I like your period build idea - hounds tooth seats, slots with white letters, Clifford Performance 240 or 300 build. Add a nice Questionable Garage shop truck logo

[@Itrique]

I think making it a camper tow rig would be awesome. Just modernizing stuff and give the straight six a makeover for more reliability and power. That would be my way to go

[@perrymccormick7028]

I like your plan. Would probably be worth making it reliable while keeping it original with EFI and electronic ignition conversion. Limiting your useable liability to tire wear and maintenance makes the project viable for a long time to follow. Good luck with it. You've shown it justice so far.

Hey Jared I was looking and I saw that these vans could be ordered with a 302 and I got thinking.

[@AudioMobil]

Wow, you really did a great job bringing that paint back around. It's amazing what some shine juice (and lots of elbow grease) can do to old, weathered paint. Looking forward to watch whatever this van will be transformed into.

[@Obsidian762]

Here's my idea. Freshen up the steering, and suspension, upgrade the brakes, then swap the engine with a GM 4200 Inline 6, also known as the Ameri-Barra, and turbo it! These engines have great response to being boosted. Build the interior to be a really nice campervan.

[@CosRacecar]

I was thinking of the 4200 as well, should be able to get one cheap from a wreckers and you'll actually be able to get parts for it. Who cares if it isn't a Ford motor, that's what hot rodding is all about! And a camper seems really appropriate, it's spent all this time in the woods with little critters living in it, now it could go back and be for bigger critters.
