I have a 13’ v10 wagon thats on the books for July… love hearing that a clean low mileage van with a v10 is the way to go… glad i got mine when I did, and I paid for it! Worth it!
I have a 97 E-150 I would love to have converted. I wanted to covert it before I even know it could be done…..now I just need to know what it will cost me. I’ll drive from Maryland in a Heartbeat for that.
His flatbed has really incredible approach and departure angles. If it were me I would start with a standard wheelbase van or chassis cab and add a International 1993-1997 DT360 PPump diesel with a Eaton Fuller RTO-510 10 speed crashbox tranny with a 12 to 1 first and .78 overdrive, AAM 14 bolt 10.5” front maybe 11.5” rear axles with 3.31 or so gears and Grizzly locker rear and air locker front Crane Magnum wide kingpin knuckles. , divorced NV-271 HD t case. HMMV bead lock wheels and 40” radials. Deaver leaves on all 4 corners as long as possible and Bilstein shocks, engine gear driven air. My mind goes wild.
I own a club 1999 wagon 7.3 diesel and I love it! I rebuild the hpop n injectors my self out of yunkyard parts lol it currently has 430k miles blow by is near nothing, I also own a e450 short shuttle bus and a f250 all three share the same heart in common the 7.3 besides broken pistons n fuel systems I literally got them for close to nothing and spend a few hundred bucks to get them going. No one likes to work on their own rigs or else they would realize how cheap the 7.3 is to fix unfortunately the diesel techs are dying n new generations careless about learning. I wish I had the budget to lift it n put a manual 6speed 4x4 on it but idk if a front diff of a 7.3 f350 would work or else junk yard hunting I be
@@DrivingLine sigh. Seems like an opportunity there. Although some smaller scale versions are happening like the GDR, GDR East and Appalachian Adventure. Would like to participate one of these days.
hey @ujoint I have a fully tricked out Power wagon and want to move into a fully tricked out E series van. I have all King suspension and Carli radius arms, etc. Can you help me find a solid E Series and fully kit it out for me including the interior with bed, storage, etc. or do you just do suspension and airlockers, etc? Can I get it put on portals? I'm not kidding here either...
Had to stop for several reasons. The biggest problem was guys cobbling conversions together with one or 2 of our parts and then selling them as a "Ujoint" conversion. Then they'd reach out to me for a fix, big waste of time & $$/frustration in the end. And, some other "converters" would offer an incomplete kit and then send people to us for the hard stuff. So, complete kits only to preserve our name and quality standards.
