Go back to the Ford dealer - or go to another Ford dealer that is more willing to spend some time with you - and tell them you want an econline (150/250/350 name your poison) and tell them that you want it sent to Quigley and converted to 4wheel drive.
If they won't help you - contact Quigley directly:

thanks for the link. This just proves it can be done by Ford themselves Cause almost 9K is alot of money considering 4 wheel drive is like a 3 k option on a pick up truck

E-350 Cargo van GAS engine with 3.73 gear ratio. Ford, 5200lb front drive axle.............................8895.00

Cargo capacity reduced by 390 lbs, 317 front & 73 rear.
Why dosnt Ford do it themsleves?

Ford has enough problems with the Explorer being top heavy. I don't think they even want to tackle this issue.

there's a newer ford van about a mile or so from where i live thats 4wd, think is a 3/4 ton by the looks of the axles. if i could afford it, i would go that route. you can tow/haul like with a truck, but with cheaper passenger car tags, and have the 4wd traction available for winter. ( and empty vans and snow are not a fun combination.)

I just bought this '96 Quigley 150. It only has a 4.9 but it gets the job done. Van gets lots of looks for a work vehicle, now with a set of flares, some nice wheels and tires and maybe a nice front bumper with a winch... who cares if it's a six!

Another Big Six Quigley.

Last time I checked, I ran 21 second 1/4 mile.
Although would be slightly better now.

The name of the movie is "Breaker, Breaker". That was the movie had the Blue Ford van with the Eagle on the side.

Up here in B.C. they are fairly common; most of the snowmobile, ATV, and other guiding operations use them. Plus most ski hills and logging or mining operations have a few around, my father used to have 2wd vans converted by the Dana rep in Vancouver for the logging companies. If you can't find any down there check www.buysell.com.

Ohhhhhhhh ...... that red Quigley is pretty.

I want a new one, but, can't quite justify the price of a new, or newer used, one right now.

I will just keep plugging along in my '78 E250 Pathfinder.
