**Motivated Seller** I am transitioning out of this vehicle to assist with funding for overseas travel.
Laying out the work needed before diving into the build. I have priced the van accordingly:
- The 200 AH sealed AGM house batteries are in need of replacement. I would recommend looking into a 300 AH lithium battery at a minimum.
- There is currently an issue with oil pressure. This has been diagosed to be related to the Low Oil Pressure Pump. The part is around $250, however with labor the estimate is around $3000.
Now for the good:
2006 Ford E-350 SuperDuty RWD 6.0 Powerstroke Diesel with 277K on chassis, approximately 44K since total top end rebuild and bulletproofing. The prior owner purchased the van from the EMS company that owned it since brand new in 2017. As you’re almost surely aware these 6.0s can be problematic; this van was no exception. The prior owner bulletproofed the van, installing more reliable components. I expect the current engine build and drive train to last well past 500K miles, and probably longer. All that’s left is the 4×4 conversion, which I had intention on doing but life got in the way.
Bulletproofing in 2017 by prior owner:
ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN/RELIABILITY:
-OEM reman heads
-OEM head gaskets
-MRP studs
-Blue spring upgrade
-EGR cooler delete
-8 new stock fuel injectors
-new stock HPOP
-7.3 fan clutch upgrade
-OEM oil rail replacement
-6″ Action Van Suspension RWD lift with new coil springs, Bilstein shocks, sway bar, and control arms in front and 6″ blocks, Bilstein shocks in rear.
-5X 16″ Procomp wheels (full-sized spare located on rear bumper)
-275 85 16 BFG KO2s (brand new in 2021, <9K miles on them).
-In 2019 the rear axle was rebuilt by a Colorado driveline shop specializing in off-road vehicles. It got all new bearings, seals, clutch pack.
-In 2020 the bottom end of the transmission was rebuilt by the prior owner’s diesel mechanic
-In 2024 crank position sensor, camshaft position sensor, and both rear driveline u-joints were replaced by my diesel mechanic
In sum, this van is one front diff short of a totally rebuilt driveline from engine to tires. As such this van can get to some deep backcountry camping spots that Promasters and Transits could only dream of (no offense, but there’s no substitute for clearance!).
Interior build was designed for extended stays in remote areas. The pictures will speak for themselves but, in sum, I chose an ambulance for its abundance of storage.
INSIDE BUILD

-Swiveling passenger seat.
-A ton of LOCKABLE storage underneath bed, in cabinets on wall, and behind driver’s seat.

SUMMARY:
This van is in need of two things to be ready for at least your next decade of outdoor adventures. Specifically, the house batteries need to be replaced and the oil pressure issue needs to be addressed by replacing the Low Oil Pressure Pump.
Should you wish to add your splash of creativity it is a readily accepting canvas for further external lighting, roof racks, or even painting if you dislike white. With its recent history of upgrades and endurance-focused repairs, she will be a turn-key rig ready for fall MTBing, hiking, camping, boating. If you desire a 4×4 conversion you can do so knowing it will outlast and outperform many of the competing models within the market, especially for the price.
Asking price is $19,000. This E350 van is located in Olympia, Washington. However I can facilitate a sale in Oregon and California as well. Email, text, or Instagram for further info.
