Damn, I think that's a great rig, and a pretty decent price.

Ha ha ya, I really like that black one I started a thread for titled "someone please buy this van" and it has 4.30 rear axle gearing. There happens to be a 2015 F250 4.30 front axle at LKQ in the area for 1430. So basically if this one sells I'm gonna buy it and make it another MG kit van for me, if not I'm happy to keep it because as you all know I have put a lot of work into it.

Oh nice! And so it goes. Hope that comes together for you. Love the open 'layout' of Tan Hot Dog Build- so perfect for changing diapers... and high chairs and play pens... and toddler toys .... You sound kinda grumpy about it tho. No joy riding indeed

Ya, I just know how some people can be with these kinds of vehicles and I don't want them to know I'm really a nice guy . Like when a couple guys that appear homeless wait outside of a grocery store to see the owner of the van and then try to talk to me about it. Sketches me out!

It really is a sweet van, just needs an interior, or not, and it's good to go. I really just want to be matching with HellBetty... but a foot longer.

Wouldn't regearing your existing van cost less (and be waay less aggravation) then paying the sales tax and registration fees on another used one?

Is the black one also an advanced 4WD conversion?

....just sayin'....

I could care less about the gears, I just brought that up because it means I could have this van 4wd with 4.30 gears using MGs kit in no time.

The main reason is because I don't want to do a full build out, I like the transformer idea so buying a 15 passenger van with windows means I pull the back 3 seats and I'm done with the interior. My family and I miss the windows and views we got with a passenger van as well. Also black v10 van with tan interior looks sweet.

Oh and no it's not an advanced conversion which means I would only have to do an MG install not an advanced tear down as well ha ha
