01 E350 7.3 Build

I'll post some pics and details of this build as we make progress. This was a standard EB cargo van not too long ago, customer took it to SMB (Indiana I think) and had a full interior done with a pop top and now its here for the works. Super nice 7.3 van, we'll be doing a 6" lift, Stage 2 front axle w/RSC upgrade and 4.10's, Sterling 10.5 rear w/ARB locker, full onboard air system, Aluminess front with a 12k winch & a few lights from Rigid, adding a winch to the rear bumper, dual Fox 2.0's up front, single rears, flares, NV271 t-case, exhaust, A-Pillar gauges, custom UJOR tunes from DP Tuner and thats all I can think of right now....!!!

I like the look of the all black hood... thinking we should have done that.

Yea it will all tie together nicely once we're finished. I think he mainly did it to cover the remnants of an old decal. There's still some on the body that will be covered by a wrap once we're done.

Re: 01 E350 7.3 Build

I was just thinking about adding a flat black wrap to the hood of our white van, to cut down glare. I think I'll mock it up in Photoshop to get an idea of how it looks. Anyone have a black hood on a white van? I'd love to see a pic.

Or a silver van for that matter. Need to address the pealing clearcoat on my hood...

Sounds stupid perfect!
That is the exact axle/suspension setup I'm lusting after, we'll see if I can swallow the price tag, hard decisions! This rig is going to be sweet, tune in

I have a plain white van and have bought a spare hood to paint and add a scoop. This is not my van but i like the way the hood looks.
