<p>Thanks for the love guys! </p><p>OpenMinds: I cannot recommend a full size enough. I part timed for years in a '00 Subaru Forester so upgrading to this for full time is pure luxury for me.</p>
Close but no cigar...I've been perusing the net and the local shops for close to 8 hours now and I'm thinking I'll just buy an air filter, cut it to fit, and create a rubber seal of some sort. Thanks for the suggestions/links, guys.
<p>I am currently in the middle of doing an extensive tune up on the ol' van and I am having one hell of a time trying to find a replacement PCV filter for my 5.0L 1986 E-150, anyone know where I could pick one up either locally or online? The only results I am getting through google are PCV...
<p>Thanks Seraphim! I will definitely be utilizing that tip. </p><p> </p><p>Found this shelf on the side of the road last night, nothing wrong with it other than a few scratches and little dust. Removed the top piece in favor of being able to put a plastic trunk on top that I am...
<p> </p><p>Thanks guys! Yeah, I'm pretty proud of what I was able to get done with such a paltry budget. I actually found another shelf/cabinet type thing on the side of the road that I'm considering putting next to the entertainment center. My dimensions are 10' long from the rear of the...
<p>So I have been living out of vehicles part time (7-9 months per year) for about 6 years now and I decided it was time to take the plunge and acquire myself a van and go full time. After months of research and test drives I found a fantastic deal on an '86 E-150. 79K miles, purchased from the...
I've tried the pry bar method, still not finding anything underneath but I'll do a better search tomorrow when the sun comes up. If worse comes to worse I'll just use the tried and true method of cutting my way through. Thanks for the insights guys.
Any idea what your mechanic did to get it out? I'd rather not have to pay to get it done and acquiring a second set of hands to assist me wouldn't be an issue. At this point I'm considering just grinding off the metal brackets that hold that bars in place and calling it a day.
So I decided to remove the fold out bed in my '86 E150 in favor of a custom set-up and I am having some issues. The seats themselves came out with ease but the four bolts holding the folding frame in place are just spinning (with various degrees of resistance) without actually unthreading at...
<p>Thanks for all the advice and suggestions, I've never really been one to "actively" look for a partner or anything, I just figured throwing up a post wouldn't hurt.</p><p> </p>
<p>Thanks for all the love, guys. Yeah, I'm a fan of the paint job too and never really considered changing it. </p><p>Wagoneer: I totally dig that painted box truck. </p>
I'd love to someday but I just haven't had the extra funds yet. I do love the festival atmosphere, though, and I try to go to as many as I can afford.
Thanks for the reassurance guys. Attracting unwanted attention is among my biggest fears in choosing this lifestyle and this van just doesn't always 'blend in' with other vehicles.
<p>Hello everyone, I'm Jonathan, I've been a part time vandweller for about 6 years now in an attempt to gain enough knowledge and experience to go full time. I have used several different kinds of vehicles and have found a cargo van suits me best and wouldn't you know I was able to pick up this...
