Ideas and Stuff
Here are some photo's of my 1986 Ford Van (E150) with my plane rack installed. The rack is all steel conduit, gas welded and it can be removed in about 5 minutes. The yokes were made so they can expand and contract depending on the size of the plane. So far this has been a very worth while project and i do get a lot of compliments on it.
As for the cost? About 15.00 in conduit and 4 hours of work. Actually the whole thing van and all was a very inexpensive way to haul planes. When I got the van it had 52,000 miles on it. The engine is an inline 6 300 ci with a manual transmission. Not many remember the 3 on the tree anymore but this one has it. Good mileage, easy to maintain and it was a cheap buy for 500.00.
And yes, the van is only for airplanes!
