can you get more info and or pics of the vans?

I saw all of those on LA Craigslist when I was looking- I just checked and found one- http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...199186128.html

I am pretty sure it is exactly the same as skot433's so you can check his build thread.

LukeD, why are you looking at vans? Thinking of doing another one?

[CrabbyMcNab]

Still looking. Wife told me to crunch some numbers! I have probably $16-18K trade-in with probably another possible $5-10 to put into it.
Would like a passenger, diesel, 1-ton. I can work with 7.3 or 6.0 as long as van hasn't circumnavigated the earth 10 times. My plan is to convert to 4x4 (preferably with a UJoint kit) and add a pop-top at some point. Not too worried about adding inside accessories such as fridge, potty...

On eBay, seems like a legit deal? Not a passenger, but for $13K getting a 2008 6.0 with 11K miles doesn't look too bad. Has 4X4 from quigley already. Clean van with appears to be little to no rust. Interested to see if there is paperwork to go along with the van.
Doesn't look like any rear air. would have to remedy this before the kiddes will be allowed to ride (per the wife)

Autotrader. 2006, 6.0 with 88K miles. $17K for a clean passenger with 3.55 limited slip rear. Located in AZ, so should have little to no rust. clean carfax. If I play with the numbers, isn't this a little high in price? I know there is a premium for passenger diesel.

craigslist in NJ.
1997 with 7.3 Chateau package. 154K miles for $6500.
Looks a little beat-up maybe score a good price for the condition. Rust concerns since from the North East.
Judging from the condition, I don't think the wife would allow me to drive something this "worn" as a primary.

CrabbyMcNab,

My advice is that you stay away from higher mileage 6.0's. With a lower mileage, newer model year 6.0, you can take a few steps to eliminate most of the common issues that arise with that powerplant. With the higher mileage ones, sometimes the damage is already done.

With the 7.3 you can push the mileage a bit higher, but then you are looking at all the wear and tear associated with an older vehicle. And 7.3's are not without their own issues, albeit, most are less catastrophic than a failing 6.0.

I am really glad that I found a van with power windows and locks, as well as, rear air. These convenience items really make it a nicer experience. Adding those things later would be a huge pain. You have listed some nice vans, so you know they are out there. And yes, the Diesel Wagons will command a premium price.

Good luck!
