Introducing....VanDOOM!!!
That's right! I done went and did it! Starting a new project... VanDOOM!! Here is what I bought:
1982 Ford E350 Ambulance
460 (20k miles on rebuild)
C6 (same)
NP205 (same)
Dana 44HD front 3" axle tubes
Dana 70 rear (20k miles on rebuild) I think this is a D70, but maybe a D60
16x7 Ford Alcoa wheels with 235/85-16 (tires are done in)
I just got this home so I only have the pics from the PO.
Warn 8274 winch on a off road bumper
The previous owner has had the rig since 95. Used as a camper right. I have a stack of receipts 2 inches thick with all the work that he has done. Some good, some bad. The interior has been gutted.
It has 2 bench seats in the back along with a table. Seats are reversible.
It needs interior work, but comes with a ton of parts. It also needs a new alternator (big ol ambulance type. Working with Blanchard Electric in Seattle to upgrade).
And tires...trying to figure out what will fit. I would like 255/85. ST Maxx maybe when they come out. They might be too tall to fit between the lower edges of the fenders. 265/75 if they will not fit.
Since I became disabled with a degenerative neurological disorder I sold all my manual transmission projects and settled on this bad dog. Going to be fun working on it with my 12yo son.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the comments!
Yes it will be painted. The PO replaced the doors and hinges due to sagging and high usage and no windows.
I did buy my first parts today. Another set of wheels. Identical to what is on there. Nice shape! I will post some pics later.
