Looks real nice! But you'd have to remove that fancy radio!
How does the 4x4 work? Electronic transfer case controlled by one of the switches to the left of the dash? Like next to the brake controller?
If I had the money, and it was closer, I'd be interested in it for certain, looks real nice.

Oh yes, that radio needs to get the hell out of there. Need a factory tape player.
I'm sure it's got a floor shifter like all the ones i've seen, but it's so short, you can't see it in that one pic.

Maybe there is a floor shifter, you'd think the seller would want to post a picture of it, or the front axle so you can tell its really a 4x4...
I'm not familiar with vans, what are those switches under the dash on the left side? Obviously the brake controller is attached there. It looks like there are two switches right above it. One to the left. And something to the right that I can't quite make out. It almost looks like the thing to the right says "FUEL" and I'd guess "Front" and "Rear" but can't make those out.
Looking closer I see a curly wire too, like for a CB mic, coming out from under the dash?? Looks like the "110 hookup" is in the rear below the drivers side taillight so I don't think its that. Yah I know what "110 hookup" means, but he really could have described that better.

The switch on the face of the bezel is the OD cancel switch for the E4OD, the switch under that, over the brake control is the fuel tank selector, and the 2 bigger switches and that 1 lonely one under the headlight ****, those were added, no idea what they might be for.

Ok, so I was right about the fuel selector, and the other two are add ons. There are a few weird things on the ceiling you can see in one of the shots, maybe add on lights?
Now I'm real curious, the big switch could be 4x4, one to engage 4x4, the second for low range?

i noticed the one dirty posted while browsing CL, looks pretty nice except the body damage
john, the only problems i see with the "dream van" you posted are: half ton, gas, single tank, and those darn covers over the top of the wheels - and what is that obnoxious piece of sheet metal sitting on top of the hood like that

Half ton rides better (well maybe not that one, it's setup for heavy towing), no silly dual tank problems, just one big 40 gallon tank, and those side skirts are priceless someone on the van forum said they were OEM on the Chateau vans to. Never seen some before.
If I would of gotten this one, my War Wagon IDI van would have gotten parked in favor of this one!
Never seen winter either! It wouldn't have with me either.
