I just picked this one up.


It's a 1997 E350 Super Club Wagon (15 passenger).


Here she is with my daily driver:



It's got a few areas that need attention. Should be a nice summer project.

Thanks! She is. No rust to speak of. No dents or scrapes either. Needs a bit of a wash (inside and out), but only a few minor issues otherwise.

Sweet. I see a lot of older vans around here (we're in the Philly 'burbs) with rust... sounds like you found a good one! Good luck with it.

looks great! I wish mine was an extended van.. The bolts holding the running boards on look dark in the pic. Mine are rusted a little and stained the aluminum so I am going to replace them. I am going to use stainless steel nut, bolt, and washers. IF you change yours be sure and use a NON metal washer between the stainless steel washer and the aluminum running boards to prevent galvanic corrosion. Some dissimular metals will eat the aluminum away.

It's not a van, but it is an E-series

Man I really like your van!! That is exactly what I've been looking for. I want a extended van with the hi-top conversion. Finding one that is either a E250 or E350 and not a camper van is very hard in my area. I can't tell for sure but is yours a E150?

If you want power windows & locks you are either going to have to find a donor van 75-91 that has power windows & locks. And swap the entire doors or pull all the parts and install them in your doors. Or go with some kind of universal aftermarket power window and power lock conversion. These are pretty popular in the classic truck/cars/street rods.

Just picked up my 2nd ford and 1st van!
2003 E150 with a 4.6L and 169k miles, a little rough around the edges and a CEL (yet to be diagnosed by me, PO thinks coil #3) but I got a deal and she made it home.
