Which would make it an Econoline. |

Who put E-350 in the brackets? This could be an E-450 for all we know. |

ford guy I thought since ford sold the chassis cabs under the e-series name and not the Econoline name that this would be listed as an E-series. an example of a 1994 E-Series (E450) Link to "www.indianafiretrucks.com" |

The truck in your link is not a 1994. It's a 1999-2002 model. If you notice, it says "Super Duty" below "E-450," a name first applied to E-Series vans for the 1999 model year. Also, it has the 1997-2002 grille. |

However, I do see what you're talking about. Let me do some research and see what I can find online. |

^ haha well thats my fault for relying on the Indiana Fire Dept when they said it was a 1994 and not paying attention to it but there are plenty of 92+ chassis cabs with e-series insignia -- Last edit: 2009-09-09 22:05:35 |

Yes, I'm well aware of your last point and I think you're correct on it. But I wonder if they were still technically known as Econolines or not. This is really difficult. I wish there was some comprehensive source we could look to for information about Econolines/E-Series vehicles from the 90's. |

In the 1996, 1997, 1998 "Econoline/Club Wagon" owners manuals this is what the models are listed as: Econoline E-150 Econoline E-250 Econoline E-250 HD Super Van E-250 Super Van E-250 HD Econoline E-350 Super Van E-350 Club Wagon E-150 Club Wagon E-350 Club Wagon Super E-350 E-350 RV Cutaway E-350 Commercial Cutaway E-Super Duty E250/E350 Stripped Chassis while obviously they are using the chassis codes I think it is safe to say that the Cutaways are e-series instead of econoline. But I am going to look for some more conclusive evidence -- Last edit: 2009-09-09 22:59:56 |

But then if we followed that same logic, then we would have to rename, for example, the "Econoline Club Wagons" we have to just "Club Wagon." I don't know what we should do... |
