I bought the one from tulare, its the blue one. The white one with the box is overpriced, I talked to the guy and he is pretty firm.

I'm looking into buying a e350 box van, and using the running gear off it. I don't know if I want to do diesel or the ones with the 460 in them can be pretty cool with a stroker kit.

Just thought I'd post the pictures so they will hopefully stay here for everyone can see the truck that was being talked about, should have done it with the other ones too.

It definately looks to be in good condition, looks like you did good. I wouldn't mind doing a project like that but have enough on my plate now and like you I do prefer the 56's but would still be happy enough with your find. Will be interested in seeing your future build progress, so keep us posted. Thanks also for posting the picture as I hate when there is reference to pictures that no longer exists.
