1995 E350 Extended Van Overland Build Project
I have decided to sell my project. Currently, I would like to sell it as a whole. If and when I decide to sell the parts individually, I will update this ad. Until then please do not inquire about individual pieces. Thankyou.
Basics: 1995 E350 7.3L Diesel 144,000 miles, fiberglass high top with built cabinets in ceiling...
History: 2020 Picked up van from TN. Van ran and drove great. Immediately drove it 4 hours home. Van developed a no start when hot. Ended up losing rear seal on HPOP and having a fuel bowl leak.
Develops into full blown project: I wanted a fully updated and mechanically sorted vehicle to go anywhere with as limited mechanical liability as possible. (Not looking to debate drivetrain choices.) Most of the prep work has been done and the project was ready for welding and assembly when life happened and I was hit head on in a car accident. 2 years late I am no longer in a place I want to tackle this project. So I am listing it, that is the only reason for selling.
Body interior and associated mods:
Frame has been fully chassis saver coated.
1" body lift(this is huge for maitnenance and helps some with heat management of the 7.3L). Bushings are in great shape. Previous and first owner kept the van in Atlanta, Ga for its life.
Van floor has been sanded, primed and coated x2 in valspar anti rust
Doors have new cables and metal ends (common headache)
Custom windows and pop out stock windows all around
Smittybilt Swing RC Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier with Jerry can Tray (1000$) Bumper is designed for JK Jeep but with some trimming to body lines and fab work on mounting will fit van no issue.
Front bumper from 2017 F250 (450$) Should improve air flow into motor and with frame reinforcemment bumper bracket (think UJOINT bolt on style) will bolt right up with a little work. (seriousle 4 of the 8 mounting holes line up as is)
Engine Doghouse has Foam and sound deadening already applied
Floor and walls and doors have kilmat applied
3 Sienna seats 1500-2500
2 Ford Econoline seat swivels with universal seat brackets and sliders 550$

Reality: The van is on stands. 90% of this is not installed but ready to be. Everything not listed as used is brand new and in boxes. I am happy to discuss the build and how and whys if you are serious. All of it has been carefully selected for a comprehensive build from talking with the best companies and ford guys in the business that should work very well together (37inch tires, 4.30 gearing, final drive ratio of the e40d, Brian jellich tunes, the rpm range of the 7.3 with the 1.0 housing and balanced turbo assembly...) Its a spectacular build list and an immense amount of research and time has gone into the project. I am sure I have not listed everything but the majority of what I have. I will update with photos soon.
Asking 15,000 obo. Will update with pics asap.
