My current project is 2005 E-350 getting the full CCV treatment
4wd conversion
Pop Top
interior build out.
The first stage is the 4wd conversion using 08 superduty components including both front and rear axles. Here are some pics. I will try to keep them updated every few days.
This how I received the van

At this point I prefer the (before) interior shot over the gutted version. Excited to see this thing get rebuilt.

Where'd you source your front axle and components from? If you don't mind me asking, what did it set you back?

Been a long while since I have posted on here. I did not realize that I did not post any completed shots of this van.
