    Default My new to me 91 Quigley

    Hey all, I just finally found a 1991 E350 Quigley 4x4 van with a 7.3 non turbo diesel motor. its not a camper van but Im hoping it will be soon enough. This van has very little rust and runs/drives great. I stole it for 1400 bucks!! Anyway, I will post up pics soon enough. Anyone else with a similiar van with the N/A 7.3 motor?. Im interested in seing what you guys have done on the inside for a bed. I want to build something that folds up against the wall and folds down when you need a place to sleep.

    one more question, Id like to lift it a few inches. The rear is simple but for the coils in the front can I just use some 1.5-2" coil spacers or will I need new coils? if I need new coils then who sells lift coils for my van?

    Did I post in the wrong section or something? 129 views and no one has anything for me?. Ok, I'll move on, probably wrong section.

    Lets see that beast! Lifting the front of a Q van isn't as simple as adding a taller coil or spacer, there's a lot of geometry involved. How much tire do you want to put under it? fender trimming may be a better option unless you want to go more than 33's.

    I use a cot in the back of mine. It's not fancy, but being realistic - I camp about once a month so spending wads of dough on buying a folding bed and installing it is a lot of work (plus i put a dirtbike inside it)....but eventually I'll do a permanent bed in back (better mattress, no setup necessary). Nothing like a quality night's sleep between long dirt bike days. My van doesn't have coils up front (different 4x4) so I can't help. I'm also a gas motor...can't help you there either.

    Thank you fellas!. I do have a nice Cot I could just toss in the rear because I won't be camping in it alot and I also have a dirtbike that I might be hauling in the rear as well as other bulky items. I am running some 32's right now but would love some 35's which I believe your right, I could run with just some fender persuasion. Im thinking just run some 33's so I keep some of the MPG's I have and power, Im afraid 35's might sap to much power but they would definetely LOOK better on such a huge long van. I love this van and will post up pics asap.

    Ok, heres a pic. I just got it so I want to fix the small surface rust areas, replace the trim thats missing in spots. My plan is to run some 33's or 35's if they don't suck all my power away and fuel mileage, I want to keep this real driveable. However these vans just look so awesome when they have bigger tires on them, part of it is that they are so huge that they need bigger tires to look proportionate. Specs are E40OD tranny, BW 1356 T-case, Dana 44 front axle on coils, 7.3 IDI diesel, runs great drives great. CAme with the roof rack, lights and nice CB, got it for $1400 bucks!!!!
