Not mine but posting this for my good friend in Boulder City. I am well familiar with this van and can attest to the build quality. A lot of thought went into the build and unfortunately health issues force the sale of the van. The van was built for Bend OR and McCall ID life and is now in NV.
From his AD:
In 2011 I purchased a 1997 Ford E-350 15 Passenger 2WD van with about 110K miles on it, this van was used since new to take elderly people to their various appointments. I had a vision in my head of this 4WD van I was going to create. I had the idea that I was going to build my van the way I wanted it to be, and have it stand out of the crowd when amongst other vans. For me "Mission Accomplished"!!!
1997 Ford E-350 Extended Body 4WD Van Miles: 127,500 I bought this van as a 15 passenger 2wd van that took elderly people to Dr appointments with about 110,000 miles on it in 2011.
