Great Deal there

I picked up a '05 last year, similar, not a dully and not as tall of a box, but got a good deal on it when the owner dropped the price by $3K.

Takes some time to "remember" which compartment ya put stuff in thought.....hehe.

What did you use for paint on the box?? Mine needs a good finish coat, been touching up the flaking/rusting "power coating" paint the past year.

You mean that was an option???

How in the world did I manage to have a number of them over the years that never had that one installed?

I always wound up with the creepy stalker option that increased your popularity with the local law enforcement folks.

I picked up my E-100 because I have always wanted a muscle/custom van. The top is how it looked before it was stripped down for paint and body work last fall.



The bottom is how it looked when I first got it.

What I started with was a decently looking painted survivor van. What I didn't realize was she was a serious bondo queen and basket case.



The fiberglass parts will all be attached soon, then comes the skim coats and primer. I just picked up a 1984 F-150 to get back on the road just so I can start hauling all the van parts I have collected. Bumpers, glass, doors, interior panels, restored parts, unrestored, seats, electric, **** rugs, and so much more.

Mine is a '97 E-150 Explorer conversion. I use it occasionally to pick up big items, but it normally only gets driven hauling a bike on the trailer to go camping.
