Purchased a bargain today

Purchased a E350 1995 today it has the same motor,transmission, rearend as my 1997 F350 dually. Couldnt pass it up motor runs great tranny shifts great and the rearend looks great also $500.00 for the whole think its a multi passenger bus looking thing seats like 20 people plus driver.Heck the turbo alone is worth $1000.00 plus it has a wheelchair lift also and a high output altinator on it. Got it home to use for good parts i know one day there going to be hard to get your hands on.

If it's a used, stock turbo you might get $50, on a good day...

Oil cooler, exhaust manifolds and engine mounts are E series only. You got lucky with a E4OD, as that trans will work in a pick-up, too. Otherwise E series 4r100's are different from pick-up 4R100's.
Overall a lot of E-van parts are useless in the pick-up world.

Cheap find nonetheless and I think you did good overall.

The rearend won't work as its for a cab and chassis.

That's a good find. While it is true that there are some parts that are useless for swapping into a truck, the ones that you can use will, indeed, make it well worth what you spent on it.
