Conference was fantastic.
Graydon put up some of his photos online: http://www.utahbiodieselsupply.com/photos/events/denverconference06/
I started converting the rideboard to a post-conference discussion forum: www.b100.org/rideboard
more of a reportback is coming
For sale
Diesel Cargo Van
1987 Ford E-350 (one ton)
6.9 L Diesel engine, automatic transmission
148,400 miles
$3400
This is a standard E-350 cargo van formerly owned by an insulation
company. It’s mechanically in great shape- non-smoking engine, good
tires, good transmission, etc. It has a ladder rack on the roof and a
bulkhead divider separating the passengers from the cargo area for
lockability. Bulkhead has a small door for access (you can remove the
bulkhead easilly also).
The inside of the vehicle is heavily insulated with rubber (neoprene?)
insulation that works really well to keep heat and noise down. There’s
an ugly plywood floor on top of the normal metal ribbed floor. Passenger
compartment (ie front seats area) is in good shape except for an ugly
drivers’ seat that wants a seat cover.
The good:
engine is in fantastic shape for it’s age.
recent injection pump timing, doesn’t smoke at all
solid transmission
starts instantly in the morning- glow plugs, compression, fuel system
are all obviously good
ladder rack
bulkhead divider for security
recent alignment
brand new tires
reliable
insulated
cassette player
Nothing particularly leaky (really rare for a Ford diesel this age!)
Almost a year left on current registration
good body
Heavy duty receiver hitch
the bad:
heat and AC don’t work
drivers’ seat has torn upholstery
the speakers need replacing
Sliding door lock doesn’t work (I will fix this before selling)
generally somewhat ugly interior, though more because of old age and
normal work use, rather than due to anything being broken. Most of the
‘ugliness’ is in the cargo compartment (the insulation has this white
covering that’s worn off in places)- the front seat area isn’t
particularly abused. there’s one small dent near one bumper, but body
and paint is in good shape otherwise. Bumpers are in good shape. No rust.
There’s not really anything wrong with this vehicle, I’m selling because
I bought a much newer cargo van. It’s been running on biodiesel for a year.
I’ll be showing this van after July 18th, please email for an
appointment and PLEASE be patient with responses- I’m answering emails
while out of town for a week.
