Been visiting the site for years. I'm a DIY guy on my fifth Ford. Grew up in 65 F250 4x4, and have owned a 65 F250 Camper Special, 63 F-100 Unibody on a 65 f250 4x4 chassis, and an 85 f250 6.9idi 4x4. Needless to say, I've spent plenty of time on the site keeping those rigs running.
My current Ford is a 1981 E150 4x4 conversion. It's a former BLM service vehicle that was subsequently owned by a BLM employee and used for a rafting rig. We use it as an all around adventure/camping/work/do everything van.
The interior is pretty much built out with swivel front seats and removable second row from an early 2000's Eurovan, a retrofitted Decked drawer system, and a 200W solar/100AH house power system.
I'm midway through a 302/c6 to 351W/ZF5 swap/conversion and rust repair on the driver footwell. The new motor is a rebuilt 79 block with Edelbrock heads, RV cam, and Ford Racing intake, with a Edelbrock 1906 AVS2 carb.
I'm about to dive into setting up the accessory drive and am hitting a wall on brackets, but I'll throw up a stand alone post for that.
Here's a pic where she sits waiting for me to finish welding in the floor so I can start the reassembly.
