So I've been seeing this big van sitting at a used car lot for a while and thought heck I gotta see this! It looked 4 wheel drive but something wasn't adding up. So I get a chance to check it out tonight and the first thing I notice, it's got 10 lug 22.5 on the front. Already wow! So I dig around and yep 4x4, powerstroke, auto, looks like a 99. So then I go to the back and humm, that's a funny looking axle? I get under it and heck there is no rear diff! Then I crawl to the front and sure nuff the rear output on the t case is blanked off. Only the front pulls this big lug around. Also the rear is independent air ride. Who'd a thought!

wow, I wonder how bad the torque steer was?

looks like it got the job done though.

 

who what? why would they have front pull only?

 

Was that a HUGE rat that ran under the van in the video. LOL Kinda freaked me out !!! Speaking of freakin me out WHAT THE ...... I have never heard of a conversion van with fwd only??? How much did they want for it ?? Please tell me you are going to take it for a test drive..PLEASE

 

that was not a rat that was a mouse , the rats down there are as big as a dog. lol

 

It appeared to be a kitten to me, pause at 17 sec, neat find on the rig though.

 

I saw a 90s Chevy 3500 car carrier setup like this with front-wheel drive. It was bizarre.

 

Strange.

David, hold your phone sideways so the vid will be full screen.

 

very strange indeed, cool find and thanks for sharing

 

Press CTRL+ALT and the RIGHT arrow to turn your screen to make the video right side up. Press CTRL+ALT and UP to return to normal

 

them wheels and tires look more like a 19.5, a 22.5 shouldnt fit because of the finders and i dont even think they make a drive axel(diff) that big unless its on military type stuff but im on my phone also so.... just my thinkin

 

yeah they look like the 19.5 10 lugs from a f550
also notice that the fender tag indicates a e99 van

 

I think your right about the 19.5's on the front but I think the back ones are 22.5's. No biggie either way. Also the front axle looks alot like a sd axle except the kingpins as opposed to ball joints. Man I flunked on this filming episode! This is all from the same visit. This video just happens to be the first one I took. My phone doesn't like to be turned on it's side after you start filming. I'll have a chance to see it again Sunday if anyone wants to see something a lil closer.
