I like the old school look and well, I Like the old school looks! Can theses be converted to 4wd I live in Florida so it really just need to get me up to Ashville to go kayaking and Mt Biking etc down to the keys to fish and dive. Thanks in advance, this forum is super informative and just a bit more than time consuming. :)

Never mind, it has 190k plus on the ticker and he is firm at $3900, seems a bit much to me. The search continues, and damn this site for turning me inside out with lust. I started with V-Dubs and still love them but I also like getting where I'm going, expediently :)

There is an 88 Chevy quigley posted in toms river nj for 6900.
I can't post the link through my phone
I saw it when posting my ford quigley
It should be easy enough to search.
If you can't find it ill get you the link

Ok so this guy called me back and and the van only has 92k and he still wants close to the 3800, however I was thinking it would make a cool hot rod van with the right wheels and paint. Why, why lord do you afflict me with OCVD(obsessive compulsive van disorder :)

Need help, thoughts kind quickly, the guy with the 92 7.3 idi, will let it go for 2k. Even though its cheap is it a good deal, I don't need a 5000 pound paper weight either. At this price and age I'm not sure I should put that much money into a 4x4 conversion or if I should just level it keep it 2wd and maybe an ARB. I do live in Florida for the time being so 4wd is not at all necessary. Any thoughts, points of view, things to look for would be greatly appreciated I'm going up to look at it tomorrow afternoon (1.5 hours north of me) the diesel forums seem to think these 7.3 idi are bullet proof, I have only had a 7.3 PSD and a cummins so not sure about the mech driven non turbos.

I have a 93 idi. I'm liking it so far.
It's not a rocket ship, but starts right up, runs great and has no problem going 70 on the highway.
Mine is in an ambulance so I'm sure regular van would go great with that motor.
