Yep its a Van...

So scrap all the old plans I had for my next project(except the Rat Rod, that's still happening), I got a new project. Here it is....






Its a 79 E250, 460, c6 and a D60 with 3.50 gears.

I have bought the D60 and 10.25 out of "old blue" from my Dad. But first things first, pull all the interior out and clean the mouse poop n **** out. There was 3 pounds of oats in the headlinner....

N as it sits now ....




Next up is drying it out, and installing new insulation and carpet. Than reinstall the rest of the stock interior.

Than start on the 4x4 conversion.

Depending on what you are using it for (how much its being lifted), a 265/85R16 KM2 would be nice, and is what I want to put on my van. Well, its my father in laws, but when he gets rid of it, I am going to try and get it from him.
