Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Parts

The Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon began its manufacturing journey in 1961 with a major focus on engine and transmission developments throughout subsequent years. The Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon utilized its own compact van platform at its first appearance to the market. However, the second generation E-150 Econoline Club Wagon introduced in 1968 began incorporating components from the Ford F-Series trucks. The layout transition enabled placement of the engine in front of the vehicle which granted superior access to maintenance components within the cabin. Features of the E-150 Econoline Club Wagon included an enhanced I-beam front suspension with double wishbones to improve overall driving performance. The Ford manufacturing team launched the 6.9L IDI V8 diesel engine to the market in 1982 as a way to achieve great fuel economy alongside impressive engine performance. By repositioning the powertrain lower and further forward in the chassis, the E-150 Econoline achieved better handling dynamics and improved structural stability. The main design of Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon's chassis adopted a body-on-frame construction which enables multiple possible applications including its use as a van chassis. The reliability and performance of Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon vehicles depend on original manufacturer-specified parts which allow owners to select components that fulfill both durability requirements and proper installation.
