Interesting Ford E conversion

[Ozrockrat]

I was cruising the local craigslist and this van popped up. Interesting trailing arm/ coilover front end. But it looks very pigeon toe'd and why does it need 2 steering dampers of that size/complexity.

Phoenix craigslist if anyone is chasing it and no I don't know this rig or its owner etc.

with the height of the lift- larger tires - the steering shaft angles are probably all over the place

so with the extra dampers it probably - sort of self centers by them

but its just a guess

This rig looks familiar..... or it's an exact copy of another van in CA. Trac bar looks a little sketchy.

those front tires are way out of whack...
something is not right there

"Trac bar looks a little sketchy" the whole thing looks down right scary! ...but I don't know much.

The best steering dampers in an attempt to correct some scary geometry.......I think I see why it is for sale....

The bump steer on that thing has to be horrible.
That setup is not the safest and not something you would want to take out into remote areas.

Any link to this van?, I looked, but couldn't find it on craigslist. Granted it needs to be corrected, but there is a lot of parts there.

Apparently the interior and front end are from a 2004 + van. Looks like it has had some serious tinkering??????? (2nd hand info only from the guy across the road who called them for info)

Ok, this is def the same van that was recently for sale in SoCal.
