Anyone looking for a used passenger van, here's a 5.4L, and NOT white.

Doh! You're right, I missed cargo in your question. That is gonna be a tall order.

Too funny Herb, same dealer as that first one I listed. I've never heard of them but apparently they have a connection on vans.

Is there any particular hate and discontent against Quigley, or was it just not what you were looking for? If (Well, lets be real, it's not "if", it's a "when") I get around to acquiring another 4x4 van, I was going to favor a Quigley conversion over the others.

If it was $22K with a V10....

I kind of feel that between the V8 and the V10, the mileage is probably a wash (I get 12 mpg/hwy for V8 and presume V10's get 10-11?), but the V10 has an extra 25% power.

I have seen a few dealers that really seem to have all of the connections on Econoline vans. I want to say there was one in the center of the eastern states (Forget which state exactly, maybe it was NC or TN?), but they specialized in low miles "high end" (Nice options, low miles, etc etc) Econolines, almost exclusively. They might have had a Chevy van or two. I don't think they dabbled with any 4x4 vans though.

Always a little hesitant about not knowing who the last owner was, how they took care of it, and what the van was used for though.

No, Quigley is fine, there are just more options now which some prefer more. About 3/4 of the 4x4 converted vans out there are Quigley, nowadays Ujoint and Agile (TTB conversions) are gaining ground as are MgMetalworks, Quadvan, Weldtec and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. Knowing Robb (Rallypanam) he would want a 2wd (not Quigley) to convert to TTB.

I think this may be the one you're thinking of. Usually a pretty good selection of newer model/lower mileage vans. Mostly passenger variety and some mobility with only seen a small handful of cargos over the years and none recently since the E-series was discontinued in 2014 (except cab/chassis)

That there's the one. I remember cause they had that strange log pattern going on their website. Amazed that I nailed NC as a guess of where they were from.

A bit of a shame- Last I looked (Probably pre-2015), their selection of vans with V-10/desirable options was much healthier than what it is now, but I suppose with the demise of E-series van production, I'm not surprised in the slightest.

I don't know where you're located but Famvans in Fountain Valley has quite a few.
