It's not about driving a van. It's about Ford Transit.

Thank you All for the comments.
Yeap, it is ex construction, I'm sure
It cost a lot of work, time and money... but this Tranny was "in the family" for over 12 years and I couldn't send him to the scrapyard. He deserved retirement and lighweight home-around-work

The world would be a better place if there were more people like you, the transit world anyway!
