See the area right above the back doors? The home sweet home sign is missing. :)
 
Hey Jim

I too have a '90 E-350, except mine is a cargo variety, and I've got a 351 Winsor in it.

Great rig!!
 
Tested it in the snow , drove 40 miles in the bad storm we are having today , 2 lane back roads, drove perfect, I have ordered 4 new new tires, 4 new shocks, and a new exhaust from the cat back.
 
yea , took her back home yesterday and gave her a good bath..

Got new tires, exhaust,iac valve, new motorcraft shocks, should be here today and hope this week warms up like they say so I can get to work, I need to GTFO here My crazy ass gf came at me with a knife last night, so Its time to jet for warm pastures.
 
Damn Jim, attacked with a knife??
Don't wanna be reading about you in the news.
I'm chicken when it comes to stuff like that...I'd be tossing my stuff in and finding somewhere else to work peacefully.
Watch your ass ;)
 
Still here, but I think the plan has changed, I'm keeping the van, but I found a nice single axle 18 ft camper to tow, going to look at it tomorrow and check it out, I really need to know I have a place to shower and crap when I need to..lol plus the crazy gf might be going with me, and she will not live in a van..lol also took that cock ass ugly moon visor off the top.

I don't understand staying with a crazy GF/BF...but you gotta do what's right for you.

Van cleaned up really nice, but I happen to like those 'ugly' visors. If you were closer, I'd snag it up from you!

Wha'd ya do with the snow???? :p
 
Nice Van......that was one of my first conversions , I made a mobile CB Shop out of it back when Cb's were a big thing .....I miss that old van it made me alot of money running around the country!!!!
 
Before adding weight put a spring lift kit on it first. About $100. Other wise the back will sag.

well right now I'm reconsidering a small pull behind camper. Really don't think I'm gonna have much sag in the ass end, its pretty well sprung.
 
Well got my new tires on.now they are all 4 the same size. My schedule has been pushed back due to the weather, but I've got to go get my free pop up Thursday and we will see then what i do after that whether I try the popup or whether I build out the inside of the van.
