E-Series VansTechnical discussion of topics related to vans powered by any of the Navistar engines. This covers a broad number of years, but there isn't enough demand to split it any further.
Depends on the year of the Quigley. If it has a Super Duty donor axle, it's pretty easy. Just cut the Quigley brackets off, add a pass side spring perch, and you're ready to rock.
Sorry it took so long to post - I was having password problems. I'm still very happy with the conversion, but its still not 100% finished. I still need the front drive shaft and the shifter. I'm not really sure what type of shifter I need so I've been holding off (and paying off loads of debt ;-) ). On the plus side I have about 40,000 miles on the conversion and it hasn't caused any drama.

I'm finally 100% finished with my 4x4 conversion!!!! Its been over two years since I got started with the project, and I finally got the shifter in tonight. I'm very happy with this project since I didn't even change my own oil before I started this project. Chris (Ujoint) has been helpful throughout the project, and I highly commend Chris for standing behind his product for such a long period of time. Now its time to get in a little wheeling!

Congrats! I will be cutting on my spare fuel tank tomorrow! Do you have any pics of your shortened tank? Any idea of fuel capacity loss? I am guessing about 5 gallons?
I cut it an inch in front of the strap which made it REALLY tight with the transfer case, but I'm guessing I lost no more than 4 gallons. I've been living with the tank for abut a year and its been working good. I'm glad to see you're progressing with the build. With your skills it will turn out amazing.
