Help IDing a 4wd conversion

[fairweather]

Hi all,

LTLFP ,long time lurker, first post

I am looking at a 1994 Ford E350 that has a 4wd conversion and am wondering if it is possible to find out who did it by the way it was done?

Front has leaf springs over the axle with the shock mount on the plate on top of the leaf. It is a tiny little shock but looks as if a larger one could be mounted next to it (in front of). Shackles are on the rear of the leaf.

1356 Borg Wagner transfer case, front drive shaft held on with the little loops rather than a flange.

Rear leaf springs with a 4" block between axle and spring.

The owner says it was a shop in SLC but has no other info.

Thanks for any insights,

Tom

If it was a shop in Salt Lake, it's probably Advanced 4WD Systems (http://www.advanced4x4vans.com/). If you call them, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to tell you whether it's theirs or not.

Chances are really good that it was Advanced, their bread and butter is 4WD van conversions. There are a couple of other local fab/4x4 shops that have the capability to do such conversions (Six States for example) but chance are pretty good that A4WDS did the work.

Agreed, but some pics could verify further.

Decided it's more of a project that I want to get into and the owner is a flake. It's still sitting there but the owner hasn't returned any calls, only been able to talk to him once in the last month. If anyone else is interested it's a 1994 E350 4wd cargo van, 237k, 7.3?liter gas, auto. 5k.

Transfer case is bad, no front driveshaft, rear mainseal leaks, another oil leak up front somewhere, home grown interior (pretty bad), needs new tires, car fax shows 3 accidents.
