Looking to sell or trade my 1995 E350 Ford Leader Ambulance. Northern California 95451
The good:
*120k original miles.
*Less than 5k on a freshly rebuilt transmission (mildly upgraded for longevity).
*Runs well.
*No smoke.
*5 new tires.
*2010 Front big brake upgrade.
*New rear pads and wheel cylinders'
*New Master Cylinder.
*New Booster
*Full float factory LS dana 60 with 4.10 gears.
*Titled as a class B RV.
*Emissions Exempt.
*4 New Fox Shocks.
*10k rated 2" receiver and Tekonsha proportional brake control.
*New windshield
*Its prepped for a Manager 30 and House battery. (They were pulled and put in a different build)
*New 300 amp Alternator.
*I relocated both started batteries to the drivers side frame. (Matching Odyssey Extremes)
*New style Suoerduty tow mirrors.
The Backstory:
I picked this van up a few years ago with plans to build it out and do a 4x4 conversion. I never got around to it. When I bought it it needed a transmission, windshield, new brakes and the title to be updated from "emergency vehicle" to RV. The transmission I did immediately as well as removing the lights, sirens and a few of the other Ambulance specific things. Then one day my wife climbed in and noticed that it did not have a passenger side airbag. Long story short I ended up building out a different van. This one sat for a while until I had time to replace the brakes and windshield. Then I had it retitled as an RV (very low registration fees) and started using it as my work truck/tow rig. Its been great but I need something a little smaller.
I'm looking to trade for either: a short body low roof 7.3 or v10 E350 or a similar spec F350 (single cab, long bed, manual would be ideal).
Asking $14,000.
Included in the sale are:
A set of Toyota Sienna Reclining rear seats and the mounts to install them in the van.
An under body Rv propane tank and heater.
A set of heavier 2 inch lift rear springs. (I might install these if I have time in the next few weeks.)
The Bad:
*The Speedometer jumps around. This is a common issue on these old fords. I replaced the sensor and it got better but its still jumps. At this point I'm thinking its either bad ground somewhere or the head unit needs to be pulled apart and serviced.
*The ABS light is on. This is probably because of the erratic speedo.
*There is surface rust on the under carriage. The previous owner used it to commute over Donner one winter and yeah....
*Leader did a crappy job installing the drivers side cargo door and there is rust bubbling up there but it hasn't gone all the through the metal. My local body guy quoted me about 2k to strip it all down and make it perfect. I'll probably end up doing that if I end up keeping it. I live in a dry hot area with covered parking so none of the rust has spread.
Here are a few pictures to start. Ill be adding more over the next few days.
