Check out the radiation warning on the right rear door, I would love to know where this was in service!

This one had a generic “2.3" badge on the fender in the style of a 5.0 badge. Maybe it had a pinto engine... which makes no sense.

SVO swap?

I see this thing around, if I ever get the chance I’m going in. Must...know...more... Especially because we have a nuke plant nearby, but it’s not quite old enough for this to have been there, probably.

No idea, sounded pretty agricultural and smoked a bit, and he never got on it.

Does that say “radiation area ”? Odd phrasing for a transport vehicle.

Anyone else getting a Repo Man vibe here?

Yeah, it says “high radiation area/authorized personnel only”. Curious indeed.

My first thought.

The Falcon could have the 144 (2.4) six shooter. The Lima 2.3 was 140cid so it’s close. A Lima 2.3 would be a good swap. Same power, fewer cylinders.

Yeah, but... why? Not like Ford small sixes are hard to find. If anything, put a 200 in it, not a four with less torque than the 144.

Good point. Maybe they had some junk laying around? It almost looks like it’s still rolling on 13" wheels. Torque may not be high on the list of priorities.

Took me a minute to find this. I’m stuck on mobile sorry.

Is it wrong that I’d rather have the rusty beat-up panel truck, than the perfectly lovely Falcon?

Well that sure is cool!

Not at all, that truck is rad!

Agreed!

Gotta love that padlock on the van! Radiation causes corrosion apparently.

I really want to know where that thing was in service!
