I believe it was around the same time the 6.0 came out because my dream SMB would have had the 7.3 and SMB's 4x4 and I never did find one.
I don't think enough SMBs or vans have ever been made with 4x4 by another company to reliably expect to find one used.
If you're not going to go with the SMB 4x4 maybe you should buy a 2wd and design with turning radius in mind (e.g. at S&K), or try to find out what it takes to modify a Quigley to tighten up the radius.

I'm more concerned Jage might start dreaming about me.

Deminimis, I thought your rig has coils in the front. I thought all SMB builds have leafs up front. Wrong?

Don't forget to check out Quadvan. They will convert a used van if you found an EB 2wd you liked. Turning is tighter than a stock 2wd van I believe. I haven't towed more than 2500# with mine so I can't speak about a heavy load. Good luck,have fun.

As of 2007 the turning radius on the Quigley 4x4 is 49' curb to curb.
