1978 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon

The 1978 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon is a passenger van variant of the Ford E-Series, recognized for its robust body-on-frame construction and shared components with the F-Series trucks. Notable features of the 1978 model include a “two-box” body style that showcases a longer hood and lower engine placement compared to earlier iterations. Engine options predominantly featured V8 configurations, though specific details for the E-350 Club Wagon remain limited. The van typically came with automatic transmissions, with manual options phased out later in the series. It is equipped with a Twin-I-Beam front suspension, complemented by a live rear axle and leaf springs. The standard wheelbase for the Club Wagon was 138 inches, and 1978 saw the introduction of the Super Van/Super Wagon, providing extended rear body options for increased cargo capacity or additional seating. Identification can be confirmed through the “E-350” badging, indicating a 1-ton capacity.
