My ride,aka the beast


ok I shopped around a lot, initially I wanted to get a bus but instead found a unique montana style vehicle that can double as a recreational/commercial vehicle.

I found a 1986 ford econoline 1/2 van and 1/2 dually truck on ebay. I paid $3500 and drove it back from Wisconsin. It was one of my worst buys on ebay and i allowed myself to get hosed somewhat. the truck was never registered or title in the name of the people I bought it from, also the overstated the condition of the vehicle ...like new glow plugs...not! any how I made it back to Montana.

It has been sitting in the drive way while I have been acquiring the needed components.

It already has 2 tanks but I think Ill leave them be, and add a wvo tank as a seperate clean installation. I got a veggietherm from Plantdrive, I picked up a sweet storage tank from home resources(a local recycling place) for $20, and a racor filter thingy.
