I'm looking at a van for myself and the dogs. I don't know Fords at all so I thought I'd ask your advice. How does this sound to you? What should I check out or ask about?
Thanks,

Ask if it's been in a flood. Sounds like it with those electronics being replaced.

Otherwise, sounds decent enough for what you want.

Who did the 4x4 conversion? A reputable company?

There should be sticker somewhere say who did the work. Try looking on the door jamb.

A Dana 44 is on the lighter side for a full size van. It'll likely be fine if you respect what it is.

5.8s are said to be a decent motor, but any conversion is only as good as the up fitter. Sounds like a Quigly if I had to guess.
