Whose 4x4 conversion is this?

[tgreening]

Possible mish-mash of home brew and modified aftermarket. Looks like a takeoff on a 3-link style that was popular on jeep tjs or something.

...put the pipe down and walk away man, just slowly walk away :ylsmoke:

Edit, two things, it's not my pic/phone, and two the first time I saw the pic I thought the shock was inside the spring (coil over) but it's not...

I don't think Quigley ever offered a push button to engage 4wd.

Thanks. I'll check the VIN# and call Quigley. I'd like to know also if the BW1356 was converted to manual operation (the motor has been removed, i.e. missing). I would not want a stick sticking out of the RV floor so I'm sure I will devise some way to remotely shift the BW1356, either electronically (stock push-button) or otherwise (pull-cables).

Edit: By the way, as most probably already know, the noticeable difference of the 2000 E350 vs. 1990 E250 is that in the E350 the frame rail is taller (about 7.5 inches vs. 6" in the E250) but only from the trans cross-member to the rear leaf springs front mounts; the rail deepens at the bottom. The rest of the frame rails are 6" tall just like the E250's all the way. Of course, there's also differences in the front coil springs and the rear leaf springs. Front sway bars are of the same diameter. The E350 has no rear sway bar; the E250 has one.

Broncos and F150s had the 1356 with a push button shifter. Ramsey at Agile made a post/thread on this very subject if you can find it.
Seem to remember him mentioning it was only 4-6 wires, not that you could ask Ramsey anymore but Glenn is still alive.

it's the small screens, I also thought the gusset on top of the axle was part of the trac bar....

Through the power of google image search I found this,

Don't have time to read it now, but scrolled the first page and thought it looked like it could be interesting.
