Hit me up if you have questions.

Cool van! Out of curiosity, what is your rear end gear ratio and what have you been seeing for MPG?

 

[Meekerfam]

mpg's running around 18 in town, not driving on interstate much since lift/ tires added (live on an island and when headed off, mostly a day trip, we're in wife's car.) as for gears....code 33 Dana 6250 3.54

 

[Meekerfam]

here are some stills. will get some of inside tomorrow.

Cool stuff! 18 mpg is great out of a rig as aerodynamic as a breadbox with a C6 tranny. We've got an '84 with a 6.9 and are probably seeing a 14 mpg avg, though we are a bit taller and are pushing 4x4 running gear with 35" m/t's. We've only had ours less than a year, but so far I'm a big fan of the IDI motors. Certainly glad I don't have a 460 with the price of fuel!

The Blue Sea panels are awesome (as is most marine stuff) and make some of the electrical systems I've seen in expensive rigs seem hokey.

Thanks for sharing - looking forward to some interior photos!

Yes definately more pictures please. My 89 E250 Pathfinder (w/351) needs some interior upgrades and I like your designs. The visor rack is cool you say that comes from the factory on 92 up Econolines?

Oh that is real freaky. I asked the question and you had more pictures posted before I asked. Love that turn around maybe Tele-Psychic......

 

[Meekerfam]

visor is aftermarket, but fits the 92 up models. had to rebend the mounts a little but worked great.

Did you do the headliner and the paneling yourself or have a shop do it? Love the work btw smart idea on the shower curtain.

Got the van as a basic, e350 conversion van bench in back, two captains chairs middle, two more upfront. Here are a few pics of when I got it.

inside with middle 2 seats removed. small carpet squares covering seat mounts.

Meeks, I've said it before and I'll say it again; that van is absolutely fabulous. Well done.
