I am always way more interested in any vehicle when I hear the words Big Block, and that is what sold me on this $500 78 Ford Econoline E250 Club Wagon Custom outfitted with a 460 big block 385 series engine, and C6 automatic transmission. It has been parked in a junkyard for over 30 years being used for storage and today we are going to change that. Can we dig it out of the junkyard and get it running again? Let's find out!

Deutche brand used to be Autozone in house brand before going to stp. They marketed that brand through the mid 2000s before swapping. I started work with Autozone in 1995 when I was 15. I actually said something about this brand the other day and the young people I work with looked at me like I was an alien. lol. Time flies when you’re having fun. What a trip:)

We were always doing something, fixing something, welding stuff, and just plain ole messing around on dirt bikes, in VW baha bug, just good old fashioned fun. We didn't need social media or anything else to just have fun. 😁

Dear Dillon family, For my wife WIlleke and I it’s still amazing to see how the whole family is working to get this abandoned Ford minibus running again. The Big-Block Ford 460 Engine was produced over 30 years and was Ford’s most reliable engine ever built. It’s a bit concerning that the oil did contain water but that might be caused that rain went into the engine but if not it must be a blown head gasket. We look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

If a brake drum is THAT tight, back the self-adjuster off, and loosen the bleeder in case the hydraulics are bound on, AND also look for a 'Mico Lock' brake lock lever on or under the dash, near driver's seat, etc., or other brake locking device. (Had either of us known about, or had seen it, we could have saved about 4 hours pulling the locked-up brake drums on a. work van. Several of the company vehicles had them for various reasons we later determined.😎

Hey Josh, whenever I use Lucas products, I always mix it with the fluid it is going in with to make it thinner. Engine oil, I will pour 1 quart out of the gallon bottle in the motor, then pour the Lucas into the gallon bottle and shake it to mix it. Same with trans fluid. Makes it easier to pour in! Hope this helps in the future.

You should go through this thing thoroughly. I have dealt with tons of vehicles with bad transmissions, and I have never seen one that started to move like this. I bet the transmission is fine. You have an extremely heavy vehicle with a wheel that isn't completely free. I would work on that wheel some more and see if it doesn't get any better. As heavy as this thing is, any restriction in those wheels might keep it from moving. If the transmission is bad, it won't take a gear, and will not move at all. The fact that it is trying to move suggests that the issue is somewhere else.

I had an old Dodge van one time. The transmission would move. I poured some brake fluid in it. And it took right off it did a lot of slipping. But work. Lasted for about 700 miles and then went completely out. But it was shot anyway

The silver locking pull handle near the parking brake is a locking hood release. Had it on my 1980 club Wagon. From 1975 that series had no glove boxes.

Hey Josh. You have a tractor with a front end loader that has forks on it. You can move a car around to get to the van but can't use the tractor to push the van onto the trailer. 😂🤦‍♂️ Love you all none the less.

Old trick was to jack the rear wheels off the ground and go through the gears to enable the torque converter to refill.

I love vans. Great multiuse vehicles. I turned my Chevy van in a camper van and enjoy the great outdoors in it. Great video as usual. Look at those guns on Marge lol.

It's been a really long time, but if i remember correctly , there is a bolt on the side of the older Ford transmission to adjust the bands. It should be above the linkage.

Really liked this video of the van.I hope that the transmission isn't bad and you get it going under its own power.Ill be anxious to see the next video of this one to see if it pulls and to see the power wash and clean up.

Hi Josh and family! Another quality video. I’ve been looking forward to the van video since you said you bought it. I cheered when she started and when she moved the inch under her own power. She will run like the wind when you get her parts. Ralfe slayed me when he was hanging on the jack 😂. I can picture it now the van painted solid white with red pinstripes with Sleeperdude down both sides front to back across the hood pulling the trailer with the Pinto and Gremlin to the track! Can’t wait to see Part 2. Thanks again for not disappointing!!!!! ❤

I remember stepping up from the Country Squire Ford Station Wagon with simulated Wood paneling to a tan ford van that was the twin of this one(but with three rear benches) we toured the USA every summer in it. Same exact setup. Awesome memories.

Those old 460's are as tough as nails to kill that's why the derby guy's love them. Also it's a shame that four door Torino was a bit crinkled would make a nice little hod rodding toy.

A tip to get the tire back to bit. put a strap and rachet around the tire and tie it up. will push the tire both ways to the rim.
