The 1965 Ford Econoline, a true icon of vintage utility vehicles, got a new lease on life thanks to the collaborative efforts of Lorenzo and Dave Preston. Originally designed as a versatile van and pickup hybrid, the Econoline’s forward-control design and compact footprint made it a favorite for both businesses and enthusiasts. This particular Econoline had seen better days after suffering from a dropped valve and subpar repairs by another shop, leaving it in need of expert attention.

Lorenzo stepped in to re-machine the head, repairing the damage and ensuring the engine was brought back to proper working condition. With precision and care, Dave Preston reassembled the engine, fine-tuned its performance, and restored the van’s drivability. Now running as smooth as ever, this 1965 Econoline is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication required to keep a classic on the road.
