7.3 Power Stroke diesel 4x4 van / conversion / camper / RV / four wheel drive

Legendary 7. 3 liter Powerstroke Diesel. DP Tuner. 4 inch exhaust. 20 inch F-350 Superduty Wheels. BF Goodrich AT's. lifted. Heavy duty tow package. cruise control. steering stabilizer. Yakima bike rack with Thule's biggest cargo box. Fully insulated with double bed. LED lighting system and well thought out storage with a very livable interior. Engine is great: originally a document shredding company fleet vehicle in CA (no rust anywhere) and had regular fleet maintenance. I have taken good care of her since the conversion 30. 00 miles ago. she blows no smoke. burns no oil and if you don't know this engine. it's still young with this mileage. Had a transmission rebuild at 200. 00 miles right before I got it. At 208. 32 miles (in 2012) i got her primed for a seven week trip through the South West with the following: Installed factory cruise control. DP tuner and Pyrometer. 4" Magnaflow performance muffler. had a complete overhaul of the Transfer case. replaced all 8 fuel injectors (brand new OEM injectors). replaced all glow plugs. replaced drive line slip yoke. replaced turbo up pipes with complete rebuild of Turbo pedestal. replaced fuel lines. replaced wheel sensors. Since then. other than regular maintenance (oil changes with filter every 4000 mi). I've replaced the Pitman arm (steering). batteries and starter. The engine and chassis are 2002. with a 2007 F-250 Dana 60 3. 75 gear front axle and a 2007 10. 5 Sterling limited slip 3. 75 rear axle and there's an RCX steering stabilizer. She's been really trouble free (I rebuilt the transfer case only because it ran low on oil from a worn seal and I didn't want to take any chances with it) and the drive is amazing. you can't feel there is a lift and four wheel drive there. just smooth; I love driving this rig on twisty roads. on freeways. in town. in snow and off road. If I'm careful I can get 17 mpg. The DP Tuner adds 60 hp in economy mode and has stock. towing and security lockout mode as well for leaving your rig at the trailhead and having it still be there when you get back. Accelerates strong. brakes straight. and sits higher than most every other 4x4 truck on the road. For the insulation I built an internal framework to support the paneling and had the entire body from the front doors back sprayed with two inches (1 inch on the floor) of non-toxic foam insulation. Every body panel is full except for space I made for the workings of the doors and the wiring. Then I covered that with reflected insulation and paneled over all with finished Birch ply. I carpeted it with indoor outdoor and it sweeps out real nice with just a whisk broom. There is a bench seat with belts that goes with (giving her the capacity to legally carry five). and the flooring that covers the insulation has holes cut in it for the seat to lock in place on the original mounts. you'll have to cut holes in the carpet to access the mounts. I never used the seat. The tires are in great shape they have about 5000 miles on them. spare doesn't match the F-350 Superduty wheels but it is in good shape. I practically grew up in a VW bus with a dad who loved being on the road and I've had several vans before this one (which is my dream van incarnate). so I've spent some time in vans. I believe that most people miss the point with this style of travel. I see people fill there precious little space up with cabinets and sinks. stoves and there no space left to live in. This van is set up to do business: The most important thing of all is insulation (and there was no skimping on this regard. see final photo for a view of the insulation). because otherwise you are freezing or broiling in a metal box. with this rig I have camped in the burning hot desert and slept till after noon and I've spent nights at ski areas-- with just two bodies inside its always cozy enough (there are also reflectix curtains for all glass areas that can velcro into place but I haven't needed them). The next is space; space allows versatility. I've spent two days in that van without coming out during a Utah sandstorm and with the full size bed and the folding chairs. the remote controlled LED lighting and a good book it's really nice. cooking just happens on top of a bin which goes back under the bunk when finished. I also do a lot of urban camping and I've camped right outside bars and concerts in this rig and never been hassled once. I think it just has the right look. and this strangely enough brings me to the toilet. you gotta have one for urban camping. period. The rack carries two bikes but I usually keep my regular ride handy in the van as you'll notice in the pictures. And last but not least I need my van for moving things. cabinets and things that eat space just don't work. I usually leave her ready for camping all the time (except for removing the the 9 stackable bins from under the bed which hold my gear) and I can haul most tools and lumber under the bunk with the full interior length of the van available. or pull the mattress out for huge loads. Incidentally the bed frame comes out too with 8 screws and I've hauled a motorcycle in there among other things. Why am I selling? I'm going to make a career change and I wont have time to enjoy my dream van for a couple years. by then I'll have time to design a new one. so its time she fulfills some other lucky persons dreams. I'm sure I've forgotten something so ask me questions. and I should state that this vehicle is sold as is. where is (unless you want to pay me to road trip her to you and fly me back). I reserve the right to end this auction at any time until she sells or the auction comes to a close. Cashiers checks and the like will all have to clear before the van goes anywhere. The van comes with all that you see in the pictures except the bike. the round blue rug. and the old climbing rope in one of the pics. The minimum reserve is a good bit below what I see similar rigs going for. I hope she gets a great owner. good luck! I should also mention that the engine has a block heater. I will gladly send additional pictures of any points of interest.
