I am reaching out to the Group in hopes someone may be able to help choose/identify the correct ARB Air Locker 'kit' for a 1995 Ford E-350 4x4 Quigley for one of our Forum Members who lives in France.
Vincent (Pimpon) is a very ambitious Member here who has reached out to me for help...but I'm out of my element.
Vincent lives in France and I have been assisting him with acquiring 'parts & supplies" for his 1995 Ford E-50 4x4 as he rebuilds this Van into a Camper.
To appreciate his accomplishments (like several others - a truly inspiring build), here is a link to his current build Thread:
https://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/f19/e350-reconstruction-4x4-32011.html

Because shipping to France can/is extremely expensive and many times riddled with delays due to Customs... I need to make sure he receives the correct parts (having to return the Lockers would be extremely inconvenient, time consuming, and costly), and I'm just not confident I can select the correct kit. ARB has been a challenge to deal with, which brings me to all you for assistance.

I'm hoping the someone here is inspired enough to donate a little time to support his efforts by assisting with deciphering what he has (using the Pictures below & the attached Quigley Parts sheet), and reviewing the ARB Locker kits and ultimately identifying the correct "Kit" so we can get this ordered for Vincent.

He is interested in installing ARB Air Lockers on front & rear (with the air compressor & switches that can be controlled from the Drivers seat).

Here is what Vincent has supplied me:

Note, several places in your write-up you have identified it as a 1995 E-50. Looking at the Quigley docs in the pic it says it's a 1997 E-350.
 
Very Interesting Joe, I didn't catch that. At this point I can only assume it is correct since Vincent reached out to Quigley for the info & this is what they sent him. I can only believe it's a generic build sheet which would encompass the '95 builds as well.
BUT, To be sure (since accuracy is important), I'll reach back out to Vincent to confirm and post back as soon as he replies.
THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP!
 
I have a 1995 E350 but I took the Quingley elements from the sheet, the rear and rear axles + gearbox and transfer which are actually from 1997
Thank you for your help
 
Just for clarification -
Question: The Quigley build sheet has a VIN Serial number and that VIN is NOT the VIN serial number of Pimpon's Quigley (frame) van ?

If Pimpon's van started life as Quigley, then Quigley has a build sheet for his van and can probably send it to him if requested with by providing Quigley with the VIN from the 1999 Quigley 7.3L van..l

Agreed ^^^^. I would request the specific info. Last time I needed this info they were quick to email it to me.
 
Yes and no. The sheets and parts list is for a 1997 Quigley, which is his ‘doner’ van - he pulled the 4x4 off his doner and put it on his ‘95. When he talked to Quigley they agreed he needed to use the ‘97 parts list since that’s what was transferred to his ‘95.

Post #5 from his build thread:

"here is the Ford I just bought E350 7.3 1999 the body is very rotten I will get everything I need to meter on my other E350 7.3 from 1995 which is its own "

Where is 1997 coming from?
 
Yes the organ donor is indeed a 1997 I found 2 documents the original card and a Guigley document
