Ford ECONOLINE – the American van and chassis range: V8 engines of 5,400 to 7,538 cm³, 132 to 227 kW, van, Club Wagon and chassis for bodywork
The Ford Econoline, built in the US as the E-Series since 1961, is a range of vans, people carriers (Club Wagon) and open chassis for bodies such as motorhomes, ambulances and box bodies. The type designations recorded in the register, such as E-250, E-350 and E-450, give the weight class, supplemented by Ford's own chassis and body codes for gross weight and body variant; SUPER VAN marks the extended van version.

The register lists here 23 versions with 132 to 227 kW from eight-cylinders of 5,400 to 7,538 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 2,520 to 4,730 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 5,216 kg, lengths from 5,360 to 7,150 mm and widths from 1,930 to 2,500 mm.
The Econoline was for decades the best-selling van of its class in North America and served as the base for tradesperson, delivery and passenger-transport vehicles as well as for numerous body builders of motorhomes and emergency vehicles; in Europe it appeared mainly as an imported vehicle for enthusiasts and special bodies.
On used Econoline vehicles, rust on the frame and lower body edges, the condition of the automatic transmission and propshaft on the large-displacement V8 engines, the condition of the bodywork on converted chassis, and parts availability, which for US imports runs through specialist dealers, all count.
