1987 Dodge B250, 318, 2bbl Holley- Conversion van - so, power windows, swivel seats, sliders w/ screens !, insulation, alarm, basement.
Near New tires (good for hwy and gravel road stuff..) Recent carb (+2 extra carb bodies for the bench) Recent paint.
Extras: belts/hoses, manual fuel pump, spark plugs, egr valve & gasket, ignition switch (under dash one, not turn-key), timing light, etc..
What I've done..
stripped interior. Plugged bolt holes with MarineTec. New plywood flooring with lino and edging. Maintained table insert funtionality.
Added Fantastic Fan 1250 with proper weather proofing (butyl tape And Eternabond), and rain hood
Bed Frame - (with evap holes) currently half queen e/w can be made into full queen n/s with another piece of ply and a leg (battery box designed to be bed support on one side) frame is crash mounted to van body and allows standard milk crate stowage below.
Window curtains - side curtain rods are fiberglass (light, flexible, and uv/heat resistant) all curtains go with van. Square windows have snaps and semi-rigid deflappers - roll for easy stowage in pull tabs.
Foglight upgrade to LED - wired to also serve as Daytime running lights.
Interior designed to maximize floor space and storage.
Kitchenette - crash mounted to van. Folding shelf at side barn doors for in/out cooking. lower shelf fits standard fabric storage cubes and has anti-slide.
Solar- (cherry picked by AMSolar custom for the van) Blue Sky 2500 series Charge controller paired with Blue Sky IPN pro remote. 200 w on the roof, with 8ga mc4 through proper roof gland box (again.. weather), down to controller. Temp sensor, shunt, fuses, bus bar, 2 12v ports (with plenty of room for more) 2 85ah agm batteries. All but remote in custom battery box (makes a nice seat as well)
$6000 with Dometic fridge ( 35 cfx ) $5500 without
