Wait, is the van 4WD? Because most SD trucks use a 10.25 sterling rear axle, and I believe the duallys use a Dana 70. I have been known to be wrong though.

The front axle is a dana 60, and afaik, ford never produced a 4x4 van. Most conversion companies use some sort of dana 60 axles in their front ends.

I'll find out as soon as he calls me back. Or else I've been in contact with a dude trying to sell a front and rear dana 60s for 600 bucks.

you are right, Ford has never produced a 4x4 Econoline. Have seen aftermarket installations of the TTB D44 and D50 and solid axles on C class motorhomes and such.
NEVER seen a tandem axle E-series.

I have heard of 'Pathfinder' Ford vans. I don't know if that's company name that does the conversion, or if that's just what people call them.

Someone posted a pic of a van on here a couple years ago that had two driveshafts going to the front, each wheel had its own shaft. There was a company that put this style of driveline in them back in the 80's-90's.

I remember reading about a company in the 70's that had built a prototype conversion for the Chevy van. It described ( the article did not have any pic's ) a transfer case that had 2 front driveshafts going to 2 diffs that kinda sat near or on the lower control arms. There was then a axleshaft to from that to the spindle, like a modern IFS system.

Gotta be the oddest conversion that I've heard of.

Now I've heard of some vans that have selectable gear ratios in the diffs... is this true?

chances are it'll have the same rear as an Super duty, a sterling I imagine. As for the 4x4 van, a company named "Quigley" builds them, they use all OEM Super duty 4x4 stuff (t-case, axle, etc...)

Is the E350 in question a 4x4 conversion or a regular 2wd? Generally vans aren't equipped as heavily as pickups. Usually an E350 has a D60 rear end.
