There was a guy on the forums years ago from CA that had a Chevy van with that set-up, said parts were hard to find. | | | Re: 1978 Ford 350 VEMCO 4x4 R.V. | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,309 Likes: 569 | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,309 Likes: 569 | Welcome to the site sir ....

The Fords I-beam was a much easier conversion and the original mounting points and front-end geometry was practically unchanged. I have a picture of the drivers side differential of a Ford VX4 conversion. It's the only shot of a Ford VX4 that I have: ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/b158/CatFish1111/Various/V-Drive05.jpg) They even used the stock tie-rods and sway bar. | | |
