Old school cool! Ive been a fleet work truck dealer for 12 years, always ignored vans completely. Until I got the van bug I didn't realize how hard it is to find good ones. I just got my hand on this one owner 91 E350 out of Utah. Super nice guy in his 70s used it for his private bicycle touring company since new, garaged (who garages an extended E350???lol) He kept it box stock, is rust free, straight, 184K, Michelin tires, new (not rebuilt, new crate!) 460 at 138K, new trans at 170K, new everything as it was needed, everything works, drives like it did in 91, you cant help but grin behind the wheel.

Just bought this 7.3 barn door dirt bag of a van. I’ll be documenting my whole build. Eventually will have a 6” 4x4 and possibly pop top. You can follow on Instagram too @TheDirtVan.

No affiliation but I did contact the guy through Facebook and it was still available this past Saturday. I couldn't work it out to go look at it so I didn't follow up.

1993 Ford E350, 7.3L with 98,000 miles for $3,200! Has a huge dork top on it with a school bus style opener on the front passenger door.

Seems too good to be true, I'm assuming the engine alone is worth $5,000. I'm I off there?

Thia is nice


But I have to comment.

Looks like the bench seat is right above the axle. Hope this seat is very cushy, I ride in one of those for a living, and when the road is rough, the lond bench is a pain in the butt and the back from buncing and getting kicked in the bottom from a stif suspension.

Can it lay down into a bed??

The kids love the new ‘Sofa’ bed :D

For better or worse, it’s behind the rear axle. The suspension is fairly stiff... but even empty, it’s loaded (6000 lbs on rear axle). The key features are... it seats 3 adults comfortably, it has a ton of storage underneath, and with the flick of a lever flattens into a queen size bed.

If it didn’t turn into a bed, it wouldn’t be nearly as interesting.

I asked the kids if it was bumpy... they replied, “Yeah, but it’s Awesome!”. Coming from the mouth of a shy friend of my daughter... it speaks volumes. Next vacation we go on as a group, we’ll be carpooling (the kids at least) :D
 
As the handle may suggest, a RHD Japanese Toyota van, I went the American way(the RHD vans are damn expensive and rising)Astro/Safari 4.3 lifted 4” camperized “ODaF” 2hi/4hi/4Lo Transfer case van. With the help of a local mechanic/enthusiast who has helped in almost every step of the way, “Sinatra” is almost complete.

Im calling this my new van because of the flat nose lol. With my 5'10" father in standing there you can see this thing is short but huge. The entire box is aluminum, all interior is aluminum diamond plate, even the roof, built in 3500 watt Honda genset, massive amounts of outside storage, awning, flood lights, GVWR of 29500lbs, Cat diesel, rear heat/AC, shore power. 6 new larger aggressive tires is going to hurt my bank account something fierce. It is neato!
