Profitable RELIABLE work van without HUGE payments
Pulling power, Towing Power (10,000 lbs).
MORE TORQUE and
BETTER FUEL ECONOMY than Gas Engines. Twice the Service Life not unusual, e.g, 400,000 ~ 500,000 miles. Easily researched.
This older van has been very carefully maintained by a VA public school system (Chesapeake Public Schools) and newly reconditioned by a KY Ford truck dealer and highly-rated independent garage. (www.AffordableCarCareNC.com) Yes, it may seem like a high price for an older generation work van BUT it would cost upwards of $45,000 to $55,000 for later models with NOTORIOUSLY UNRELIABLE (6.0 6.4) modern engines with tons of fussy EMISSIONS equipment EGR DEF DPF etc.
NO DEF NEEDED EVER !
This work van has heavy-duty EVERYTHING, built to last 400,000 miles or more with proper maintenance. Straight “diesel muffler” by Henry’s Muffler Shop, Raleigh NC.
NEW OEM passenger seat belt assembly,
Easy to research the Ford 7.3 “Powerstroke”
Which is ACTUALLY an INTERNATIONAL Medium Duty Truck and School Bus engine, School Buses have 33,000 lb GVWR !
The great running 7.3 L “Powerstroke” TurboDiesel is probably worth $5,500 itself based upon comparison with replacement long blocks and complete “drop in” engines. (See Photos). Especially after LOTS of new Motorcraft replacement parts, HPOP, Glow plugs, BOTH batteries, calipers, tires, A/C controls, etc etc (have ALL receipts)

Contact Info:
If you’re interested or have questions, PLEASE text first HOWEVER I can’t answer or text back when I’m driving a School Bus during the day. I’ll respond later when I’m “off-duty” possibly between 10AM and 1PM. Vehicle can be shown on weekends, usually.
And time doesn’t allow answering long emails either. I’m a “truck guy” and understand the need for reliable, heavy duty work trucks, capable of supporting a busy profitable successful business. This van will also look great with your company logo and some fresh white paint.
If you’re serious, glad to answer your questions as clearly as I can. If you’re looking to LOWBALL you’re just wasting your time. This rare beast has a 900-lb 444 CID TurboDiesel engine, considered the BEST FORD DIESEL ever used in their SUPER/DUTY trucks. TO REPEAT: it’s actually an INTERNATIONAL (now NAVISTAR) medium/duty truck and school bus engine with an enviable reputation for longevity and reliability. No DEF required. No EGR DPF defects to worry about. No weak head bolts to replace.
Vehicle can be inspected up on a lift at www.AffordableCarCareNC.com in Youngsville NC (Franklin County NC) They also have the extensive service records on their computer system.
