I was absolutely shocked when I heard Ford was discontinuing the E-450 V-10 cutaway chassis. They were such reliable workhorses and they pretty much had the Class C business exclusively to themselves.
The E450 is still being produced and there is no projected discontinuation. They have added the 6-speed TorqueShift and also now have the 6.2L v8 as the standard motor, but the V10 us optional and nets an extra 5,000 pounds towing capacity.
Glad to hear that. I always had a soft spot in my heart for the Econoline van . Drove many in the '70's...E 100, E 300 van and E 300 (srw) cube van. Favourite van I drove for many a mile was the late '70's E 350 DRW, with an insulated box and reefer unit. It had the 460 V8 (wonderful engine, lots of torque, durable) and an am radio. The radio may sound like a small deal, but it was great. No longer did I have to carry my old Mitsubishi transistor radio in the truck cab. I got the radio from Sears in the '60's.
Nice memories.
