I'm sure there is more I'm not thinking about. ONLY reason I'm selling this is I've accepted a position in Colorado (could deliver/ drive it out there) and want to put the money towards a better house (happy wife/ happy life). This is a tough van to find- a low mileage 7.3 with full width doors that was never used as an ambulance... the RedCross paid $155k for these back in 2003. Its better now ;). I've spend MANY weekend over the past 1.5 years working on this truck. There are two things left to do for the van to be complete- finish the cabinets (it does come with a Dickinson Marine stove and a flush mount sink- both with hardwood cutting board inserts) and the transfer case has to be installed with the driveshafts. It also comes with the transfer case. Very minor things and an opportunity for the owner to have his or her own personal touch in the van. Asking $100k. Serious buyers only please.

Yes, Sea Suckers!

I drove it to Colorado Springs after the cabinets were completed. It went straight to UJOR where the transfer case was hung and NEW driveshafts were installed. The quartz countertop should be ready in about a week. She’s nearly done!
