    Default 2004 Ford E-250 Custom Timberline Conversion Van 4WD



    http://denverfleet.com/details.php?v_id=394

    $25,995

    This van started and spent its life in California used by Sears appliance division to do maintenance and repair. It put on a scant 117k miles and was fleet maintained as part of a group we've had great luck with. We purchased the van back in February and brought it to Colorado for a full build out. While in our possession this van has been converted to 4 wheel drive with our own setup using a 4 link front up front and dana 60 axle from a 1 ton 2008 Superduty. In process as we do on all our conversions, everything was fully rebuilt, replaced, or gone through, including rebuilt transmission with new low stall torque converter, fresh reman NP271 transfer case, completely new front steering, ball joints, and fresh alignment with cam bushings.
    The van has new drive shafts, fresh fluids in everything, new brakes, brake rotors, calipers, brake lines, new shocks, and abs sensors that leave the existing van ABS in full working order. The van has 4.10 gearing, the trusty 2 valve 4.6 motor that they have put in taxi cabs and fleet vehicles for many years, and it has new wheels and 10 ply BFG KO2's. As you can see in the photos, the van has a fully fitted and insulated interior including doors, the sliding door has been modified to clear the wide track on the rear tires, it has new upholstery up front with heated high backs from 2012 van, and since the photos, we've installed LED lighting in the rear. The van has a custom powdercoated roof rack, and fresh base/clear Audi Nogaro blue pearl paint that's really quite striking.
    We are very particular about our builds and take both pride and pleasure in building these. In some 50 builds, this is probably my favorite rig, it's an excellent example of design and work that will make an excellent platform for travel both on and off road, daily driving, or even just work if you're so inclined. Yes, you'll dig the van.

    like it - would be nice if it had a few more windows instead of just the delivery/panel van style

    I thought the same thing, maybe a sunroof too. Otherwise it looks pretty solid, they make and sell a lot of those.

    Glass will allow more heat transfer than insulation: More glass, more heat transfer.
