    Might pull the trigger tomorrow

    Took a look at it in the pouring rain this morning and decided not to get it. A bit of body rust but not terrible, but got kinda spooked when I found out the brand new tranny is leaking and he has not brought back to the guys who just installed it. It also went into 3rd gear hard and he said it...

    Just curious, I see it is a conversion style ford van but when I look that model up in 98 I see they all have raised roofs and this one does not. Was the raised roof an option on the conversion e250?

    My Plan....

    Locking differential is totally a new concept to me, beach driving is a must for me, would it get the job done with maybe a lift job for some extra clearance?

    My Plan....

    Bob, I was hot on that set with the pickup but thought for stealth camping it would be better.

    My Plan....

    Yes it does seem that the awd is really complicating thing cause they're hard to find and people really want a premium for them, but the beach access is vey important to me. Another option is getting a 4x4 conversion company to outfit the new drivetrain but they are pricey, maybe it would be...
