Hello,
I can move this if need be but am really only interested in offering this to our small community here.
I'm really just seeing if there is any interest here, as I would only want to sell this package to someone that would build it out. I could probably split it up but don't want to. I'll obviously provide a lot more info/pics if there are some interested parties, I just have some free time at work and thought I'd check. If nobody here wants it, I'll probably keep slowing chipping away at it. I'm considering selling only because I want to buy some property and could use the money/space/time by selling off my projects. Wife doesn't want to sell it, although she's pretty happy about selling my V8/turbo swapped BMW haha. All in the name of progress I suppose.
2000 e350 7.3 PSD, 4 window 'activity bus'
Around 65k miles (not sure exactly as I'm not home), I have a clean Ohio title with the actual mileage stated and it's titled as an RV
It's still a bus, all seats and everything are in it still, haven't touched it. I drove out to Ohio about 18 months ago to buy this and drove it back and it's just sat here for the most part. I start it up and move it around a little but I haven't registered it so I don't take it out of my driveway.
There is a good bit of rust on the parts that will be scrapped during a 4x4 conversion, that's the only reason I bought it. The areas that will be staying after a conversion aren't bad at all and can be cleaned up pretty easily. Frame rails are just small amounts of surface rust, van body is completely clear and of course the aluminum bus body is clean with no damage save for a few small dings. I have a gallon of Chassis Saver I can throw in I suppose. No rust is structural, I just wouldn't want to run it as is.
I bought axles and a transfer case anticipating(and still may do) a U-joint 6" kit. If you see the white bus he has on his page, its exactly the same bus as mine and exactly what I was going to do with it.
Front axle is a Dana 60 from a 2004 F250 with 3.73 gears. I've completely torn it down, replaced everything with Dana/Spicer and Timken parts, stripped and painted it. I didn't replace the gear set, inner axles or brake calipers. I have new drilled/slotted rotors and pads too(don't remember brands). Finishing up the greasable Ujoints still and need to put finish putting it together from there out but it's all there, painted, new and awesome haha. I have receipts and pictures of the whole process as I was planning on doing a build thread once I got further along.
Rear is an open diff 10.5" from a 2000 Excursion(I think). I haven't touched this guy yet but it's complete.
Transfer case is an NV271 (31 spline I think, whichever one Chris says to get, I got). Haven't done anything with that either, got it from a guy that said it was a good unit but who knows.
I'd like to get about $8,700 for the package. I'll deliver within a few states too, I'm in Bethlehem PA. I'm open to offers(you can't offend me), only trades would be a Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot or something Japanese like that as my wife needs a new car and says my 100 series Cruiser is too big(?). I can add money on my end for the right trade.
I'll post pics and info of anything requested, this is all I have at my disposal at the moment.
