B190 Enthusiasts

This is probably a long shot but I am looking for a 1997-1999 Airstream b190; Preferably a 1999. Ideally it would have big problems with the engine, drivetrain etc but rust free body. My plan is to remove the body and install it on a 4x4 diesel chassis which I already have. The 1999 will be the least problematic due to the similar wiring harness; I am a ford mechanic with a fabrication/auto restoration shop so I am capable. Like I said I know this is a long shot but you never know. I currently own a 1996 that I have converted to 4x4, but it is still a gas engine and I would like to take on the diesel project.

Daaaaang. That's an interesting project. 7.4L?

We actually don't see many reports of B190s with serious problems like you're looking for - and the later ones tend to be pretty low mileage. I can think of a few E4OD failures, but not much else.
