I started building a shell off of an aluminum frame shell to fit my bed I have the frame work all done I just have to find something to put on it for a skin. First I was gonna go with .040 aluminum sheets and will probably go that way when I get the dough to spend on the shell until then I...

just wondering what kind of driving you do and if you broke that trailer spindle yet???? I was going to build one using a spindle but heard bad things and just wondering how yours has worked out? Thanks

Love the first gen is there a build on it somewhere?

getting back to you on removing the head liner, I dont know about your rig but in my F150 the only screws I had to worry about whereholding the sun visors on, interior light, and the coat hooks. I think that was it I just removed the plastic for the A piller and the rear of the cab and the...

I just picked up a older snug top for my '82 toyota longbed pickup it came off of a 91 it has that rubber boot that seals against the cab. I figure I will fiber glass the front closed and put a window in it. I plan on building a rack to go on top, and I also need to bob my bed 12" to fit the...

I plan on building a e350 4x4 and I plan on doing the rockers and the roof to keep stuff from sliding around and scratching the top in the rack

I test drove the van yesterday and it did impress me on how the 351 pulled. It is power windows, locks, it has tilt and cruse, new 10 ply at's I just wish I had 1200. bucks:drool: I do think the valve cover gaskets are leaking on it but that should be pretty easy to replace I noticed back...

so do you think with say 4.56 gears the van would be able to pull 35's with a 4x4 conversion? and still by drivable on the highway.

I have been looking at a FI 351 clubwagon down the road from me he is only wanting 1250.00 for it has 144xxx miles on it. should I buy or wait out for something newer?

Is the power issue just a tune? I plan on running highflow exhaust and a air intake plumbing(cai) so with those two things and a tune I should be pretty close to the power of a pick up.

Ok I am making this thread so I don't hi-jack some one else' thread. I am a newbe to the overland thing always wanted to do it so what I am gonna try to build is a E1,2,or 350 van. First off what would be the best for overland adventure gas or diesel? My problem is I can only find gas burners...

I am glad I found this thread I am new to the forum and this is exactly what I was wanting to find on here... So I guess every one is just about on the same page when it comes to a 5.4? Even if you go with lower gears? The reason I am asking the only vans I can find local are 5.4's or 351's...

I used my little samy as a DD, I loved it. I would fill it up drive 1.5 hrs to wheel, 4 wheel all day (hard), and drive it back with out a 2nd thought..... tough, fun , and topless what more can you ask for.:wings:

Home brew mounted directly through the roof of my old F150, never leaked or squeaked, held four forward lights , two rear and one on each side for night wheeling, held tire(s) and kept the bed free. It was a great conversation piece too. Made out of 1.25 steel tubing didn't have a bender so I...
