KC8ENB: 94 Ford E250

[kc8enb07]

one word to explain the creation of this thread, boredom

i just got this 94 E250 as a tow rig for lil business parting out/ repairing imports and alot of firsts for me

first Ford
first van
first I6

so learning curve and trying to make it something to use as a respectable tow rig with a strict budget of max of 1g. also to not be the butt of everyones "free candy" or "stake out" or even worse jokes...


has a FI 300ci (4.9L) I6 w/ a EAOD auto trans.
no exhaust hooked up after the cat
ghetto tinting
front bumper on by 2 bolts
roof rack my dad says are its "horns"
alot of rust to repair
bent CB antenna
class 3 hitch
etc...

heres pictures of my starting point







day i went to first pick up, this happen....



nice busted brake line, took 2 weeks to get it fixed bc of so many things stopping us. everything from notary messing up the title, to part shortage, to some freak t storms and literally working in the middle of the street. finally got it home but for only $300. seems worth it.

but its happy to be at its new home now.


dont mind the stoner

tomorrow, it gets a breast reduction. yeah im taking off the rack

This thing is TITs. 4.9L, class3 hitch, 2 batteries and a couch....i love it.

[sunburn]

should be a good hualer for ya tom

[kc8enb07]

and the couch was accidental. lol was suppose to throw it out but started to rain so never took it out lol. (i have a long drive, like hell im carrying it to the curb)

[MikeW]

Yeah...drums and guitars and stuff.

You could tow one car and fill up the back of the van with enough parts to make another car.

good shit man. with a little tlc, it can be a nice hauler for sure...

it is a 1ton oddly by looking at the springs and axles. it has 8lug rims

good shit man. with a little tlc, it can be a nice hauler for sure...

thanks man, ill need to put a sub in this somewhere. wanna try make a subwoofer armrest? it needs an armrest too.

[kmart64]

sweet tom, now you can fit tons of stuff! no more mini van lol

[Juan4DCB7]

all I can say is that those I6 can tow so much s**t, you'll be surprised.
i'd raise it and put some mud boggers, but I do not know if that is in your budget, and for $300 that is a good buy.

Nice man, at least yours came with a hitch. I had to track down a hitch for my tow rig.

[kc8enb07]

I really like your tow rig Accrdwgnguy. thats what i was looking for, mid 80s C10. alot were overpriced for the rust buckets they were.

i just wish this van was a chevy bc id go all A team on its ass

[visualpoet]

I've never been a Ford fan, but their trucks and vans are beasts.


At least you're aware that we're going to give you shit over the pervo-van. lol

[kc8enb07]

i got reminded why i like imports. drove the van 8miles and appears the water pump is going bad. its kinda odd. all fluids are up and no leaks, but if i load up the engine at all, the temp starts to go up. coast or idle and it cools down

maybe the roof rack had some cooling factor lol
