As others have posted in this thread before, "Quadravan" was the name of the Ford vans that a company named Pathfinder converted to 4WD (their Chevy van conversions were called "K-van", I don't remember Dodge).
Quadravans weren't real common, but they weren't one-offs either. Hi-cubes also weren't as common as a regular van, so the combination is all the more rare. Still, the 4WD stuff will be the same as the 4WD stuff on any other Quadravan (at least of the same weight rating), so it's not like you need to find parts for a 4WD hi-cube.

I have had over 2 dozen requests for this book (some for outside the USA) and add some info on the selector hubs that some one provided. Right before they closed the Ohio plant, I called to order some new bushings (which I have yet to install) and got into a conversation with someone that I assumed was part of the management team. I had asked a question about the parts they used in the conversion as many of the parts on mine have the Oval casted, but not the word FORD printed in the oval. I was told that the majority of the parts would be interchangeable with a 4X4 pickup of the same year and weight class. There are a few custom made parts like draglinks, but to keep costs down they used a lot of parts that were off the shelf. You might check your parts to see if they have a casted oval on them, if there is an oval it is a part used on other Ford vehicles. I still have my 78 supervan pathfinder conversion that I ordered new. It was one of the last vans down the assembly line for that year as it has a 79 roof (79 model supervans had two spots provided in the roof for a sun roof one in front and one in back). Please note if you ask for the book my reply will be from pikewrench@epbfi.com as aol is too slow to process this book.

87 ford pathfinder engine
Just found this old thread & would love some options on engine situation, it's an original carbed 460 very gutless & non existent gas mileage , I'd like to swap engines with something newer to improve mph , thought about diesel but fuel prices are high , should I rebuild it & put a better carb ? Forgot to mention it's a pathfinder 4x4
