Pics of New to me Van

Hi,
Here are some pics of my 1988 van I just got. My first step into the diesel world. Couldn't figure out how to make the pics a little bigger.

It is a 1988 E250 ClubWagon with 120K miles. C6 trans with 3.54 gears, an auxillary trans cooler and a trailer brake controller. Interior is super clean with no tears in the carpet/seats and no stains to speak of. The exterior has a few dings and there is no rust in the wheel wells and pretty much none underneath. Only rust is on a few spots where the paint chipped/peeled. It is still just surface, so Im gonna hit it with my sandblaster and seal it up. It leaks a little powerstering fluid from the steering gearbox and I either need a new radiator cap or to replace the line going to the overflow....there was coolant around the radiator cap after driving. Fuel gauge need fixed and the passanger side window motor needs repaired.

I would give it an 8 out of 10 condition wise. Just a few little things that are to be expected from a 24 year old van. A little TLC and it will be a great DD/tow vehicle. Plan on running it to 500K mikes.

Those 3.54 gears are perfect for a non-over drive trans. unless you plan on max. out GVW every day.
