1993 Ford E350/B190 Airstream. Two owner "B". (I’m the 2nd). Originally from Texas and moved to Santa Fe NM in 2000. I bought it as an all original 27,000 mile, 100% rust free camper. Now has only 33k miles. It was a two year project to complete. I started by completely gutting the interior down to the metal. Applying Dynamite to the entire floor and up to the windows. Used 3/4 oak plywood and then covered with rollout “coin” matt flooring while using Aluminum E-track between sheets. The Camper is fully insulated with 3M thinsulate insulation. The inside was reimagined using 1.5” extruded aluminum and now sleeps four. Large bed in front top and two small bunks in back. No more bathroom but black and gray tanks are still in place. Ford 460 engine runs like a dream. cruises at 75 mph all day. Gets 11 MPG.
Outside renovations/upgrades started by completely removing the entirety of the front and rear suspension, down to frame, and building it back from scratch starting with a Weldtec 6’ lift kit. Replacing windows and gaskets.
Sorry, most of my files are too large to upload. I have over 150 pics of the two year process.
Still has small odds and end needed but 100% useable and live-able. Paint is original and is fair. Passenger side where h20 heater vent was could use some bodywork.
We have camped in it for the last year, putting on 5k miles and it has been awesome! Drives like a smooth Cadillac and has zero problems in the dirt, sand or mud know.
I am missing a lot but call me and we can talk further
Located in Albuquerque NM. Clean title. Fly in and drive home. $20,000 FIRM FIRM 505-401-5424
