Offered for $42,500 in Spokane Valley, Washington, this 1999 Ford E-350 Super Duty 4x4 is a purpose-built overland van originally converted by Salem-Kroger and extensively reengineered with approximately 25,000 miles on a newer Jasper-sourced 6.8L V10, updated drivetrain, and redesigned suspension. Showing ~280,000 miles on the chassis, this rig blends proven longevity with a fresh mechanical foundation, backed by a long list of functional upgrades including Dana 60 axles, 4.10 gearing, custom armor, and a fully insulated, solar-supported interior build by Gusto Vans.
- Salem-Kroger roots: Originally converted to 4x4 by Salem-Kroger at the turn of the millennium, this E-350 represents one of the more sought-after solid-axle van platforms from the era. These conversions are known for their durability and simplicity, forming a proven base for serious expedition builds.
- Fresh V10 foundation: Power comes from a newer Jasper 6.8L V10 paired with transmission tuning, re-gearing to 4.10s, and a fully reworked suspension system. Dana 60 axles, Bilstein shocks, and F-350 springs—combined with a forward axle relocation—deliver a more stable, capable setup both on-road and deep off-grid.
- Built for the trail: Finished in custom Ford gray with rhino-lined graphics, the exterior is outfitted with functional armor and gear including custom bumpers, Warn winch, Baja Designs 60” light bar, Rigid fogs, Wilco swing-out with spare and fuel storage, and a full roof rack with ladder. It sits on Black Rhino Abrams wheels wrapped in 35” Toyo Open Country A/T III tires, ready for real terrain.
- Dialed interior build: Inside, Gusto Vans transformed the cabin with full insulation (3M Thinsulate and Dynamat), marine-grade carpeting, and modular overlanding storage. Highlights include a MaxxAir Deluxe fan, Eberspächer Airtronic heater, Renogy solar with Victron monitoring, lithium battery setup, swivel passenger seat, and integrated tech like a touchscreen head unit with backup camera.
- Documented history: The attached shows a long-term Washington history with multiple owners, no reported total loss, and no odometer rollback. A minor-to-moderate accident was reported in 2002 involving a rollover, with no subsequent structural damage flags or airbag deployment reported; buyers should conduct a pre-purchase inspection as recommended.
This isn’t a lightly modified van, it’s a fully sorted, mechanically refreshed, and thoughtfully built 4x4 platform that’s ready to travel. The combination of a proven solid-axle conversion, a newer V10 drivetrain, and a clean, functional interior build makes it a rare “turnkey” option in a space where most builds are either unfinished or compromised. If you’re looking for a capable, self-supported rig that can handle real miles—on or off pavement—this E-350 delivers.
