Vantom is on the block!

I built this van at a point in my life that I needed to get away. I'm now at a different spot, and hope that Vantom can lift the spirits of his next owner like he did mine. He really is a giant ugly unicorn - an extended body high top with around 196k miles (EDIT: it had 185k when i bought it - i made a mistake, see odometer in later post!) on his stock 7.3L engine. A massive alternator keeps the Interstate batteries charged up and the ujoint 4x4 system is in a class of it's own. This is the 6" Ujoint kit and Vantom rolls on 315 BFG AT's with a full size matching spare riding on the Aluminess rear bumper.
I put probably 10k miles on the Ujoint conversion which is perched on F350 1 Ton axles. The 4R100 was complete rebuilt with an obscene torque converter and a high capacity pan.
Aesthetically he's a 13 year old beast, a few bumps and bruises but no through rust anywhere. The interior was built out (quickly) by me to get out and on the road - use as is or strip him back down and finish to your liking. The front seats are from a newer van and super comfy. I wouldn't hesitate to drive him across the country tomorrow.
Check out the build thread and ask questions here - I'll get more pictures up soon! Located in Golden, CO and asking $21,000
