98 E350 brainstorm.

[IDIoit]

still a few hundred projects away.
but ive had some parts fall into my lap.
OBS ball joint D60, and a complete set of superduty axles.
after the SD is done, ill have a 4wd 4R100
but I do have a divorced NP205.

so basically im building a 4 wd shagin wagon.
couple of questions im looking for is:
steering box.
as this thing is getting a 4" lift, im gonna need a pitman arm.
what do these boxes interchange with? are they E series only?

I must admit, I havnt even gotten under the rig and checked it out, ive had it for 3 yrs lol
its my back up vehicle and runs (.)(.)

plans of installing a small *******/shower. a stove, and a bed.

not sure if im putting this puzzle together right but why is this in the 6.0 forum?

as far as steering goes, i would do a full hydro system from PSC. get rid of the clunky box and run a two way piston on the axle.

this one is a little extreme but...

Vans are awesome. Diesel vans are double awesome. 4WD diesel vans are triple awesome. This isn't just my opinion: take a look at how the Quigley vehicles hold their value. I think I'd take a look at what the Quigley Sportsmobile guys do as a reasonable starting point. I love hydraulic steering too, but it only seems reasonable in really big stuff.

The only part of vans that scare me is everything seems to be a true horror show to work on, so you get extra points for not being scared!
