Parts source for diesel vans on Craigslist

[GOOSE]

I am assuming that there may be idi vans in this guys inventory. Let me know if you call this guy and need anything, its about 35 minutes away for me, no big deal at all. No pictures or anything in the ad but a possible good source none the less..

I just Called...NO SERP BRACKET....only diesel has no engine/trans...just interior only....ugh....one of these days...I'll find one of these brackets...I know I will...rofl!

O-ho! I had no idea, you guys:

SAGINAW ****????

Having had an F250 gasser with a bad C-II, I can understand.

Just haven't seen this syndrome in action before.....

Dang, didn't realize alot of you guys were so desperate for a Saginaw pump and bracket. This summer in Tennessee where I got my rust free Diesel rad support, there was an 87 E350 Diesel van there, complete, shoulda took the P/S pump brackets from it!

That would work I suppose....though it's a V belt...I'm wanting SERPENTINE... for simplicity an so forth.

They basically came two years IIRC maybe three...92-94 is it as far as I know...but I think 93-94 actually...

I need that bracket and the main pressure hose to the box as well...so I can get new hoses made up for Hydroboost.

Wouldnt the hydroboost and lines from a late 90s e450 bolt in place on the 92 and up vans?

Saginaw....and C2 pumps are different. As such the lines are different. I just want a line to get a custom one made. The van line goes from pump to box, thus it is shorter than pump to hydro....plus as mentioned the pump side of line is different fitting!

My Ford book indicates the belt change took place in May of 92.

 

[IDIDieselJohn]

Yes, Serp belts came out in 1992.


I only seen one 1992 IDI truck with V-belts so far, and it was an early built 1992 model.

 

[idi_econoline]

My understanding has been the change to serp was March of '92.

Mine's production date is 02/92.

Funny, didn't know the 92+ vans had that extended oil fill tube. I know the gassers all had that, but that's the first time I see an IDI with that....then again it is the first time I see the engine bay of a 92+ IDI van.

My '85 although looks like it would be hard to add oil, because it doesn't have cruise or AC, it's actually easy.
