3rd Gen Builds

I know they aren’t as popular/ common as the 92+ vans are, but I figured it was worth asking about; I'll be adding a '88 E350 EB to my collection here soon (with possible trans/ tc issues) but for "scrap" price I'm not too worried about it.
<O</O

I’ve seen the "pic thread" but I was looking for a little more "meat" for lack of a better word. And yes I’ve been on ExPo as well as Sportsmobile, and PBB looking for ideas and seen lots good generic info but nothing dedacated so to speak..

I'll hopefully be starting a build thread for my 89 E350 Club Wagon some time this summer.

It's not a 4x4 but I am going to be doing basically a full rebuild/build. It's going to include swapping in a 4 spd manual transmission and a transfercase, disc brake rear diff and an engine swap. I'm still collecting parts right now. But I'm hoping to get working on it this summer.

My 89 has rust, but I'm just going to repair it because I want a 75-91 van.
