thanks for the input. and yes having the limit sucks, but its what I got.
funny you mentioned about the 6.0. a dealer guy out east told me for some reason (he didn't know) that the VAN 6.0's are better than truck 6.0's.
I found that interested to say the least.
anyway, I think I have decided not to get that 00 quigley van cause of Rust and a few mechanical issues that need attention. (vacum pump, and down pipes) so that would put me over my budget.
now I have thoughts of trying to find a good V10 that convert it down the road when I get the funds.
are there years to stay away from when it comes to V10's? mileage that would make me think twice?
a diesel will still be in the list as I search.
options, but I wanted barn side doors. not slider, but I am sure I will manage.

or which I like, just would strip most of the back out to build it up a bit for sleeping

for all of those that have bought vans to build up the way they want. My thoughts were buying a cargo so there are no window's all the way around. I would prefer to have one side with out windows for heat retention cause I am sure I will sleep in the cold a few nights and want to avoid condesation and such.
then again I might be bound by finding a good deal on a van and will have to comprimise.
anyway, I will continue reading up on the V10 as I have not research them to much thus far.
