E-450 conversion van. You gotta see it!
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!

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.
