I'm currently running the VW syncro I built but it's time for something else. I recently picked up a 2007 E250 that I'm planning to convert to a 4wd camper van. I don't really know the in and out of Ford stuff, but I was planning to put 1 ton drive train under the van. While at a local u-pull lots I found a 99 Ford E350 that had a 7.3 in it.
I'm curious if anyone could ID the rear end for me and let me know if it would be a good choice for my van. I really don't know much about Ford rear ends or how to ID them.
Is that the ford sterling 10.5 rear end that people seem to like to use in their vans? If so, considering my van already had rear disk breaks, would this be a fairly easy swap with out having to do any adaptation to the breaks?
Last but not least, assuming the rear end is the right one, would it be worth grabbing the front axle housing for the ring & pinion? Someone has already pulled the axles out of it. But it's a leaf spring front end.
I just don't know a lot about Ford stuff to know how to ID it.
