early 90's C on a Ford e350 7.5l V8
I'm thinking of buying an old class c with an early 90's Ford chassis. I've been rving for 25 years and am pretty comfortable fixing and maintaining the house stuff but not to sure about the chassis. ...

Ford's overdrive automatic trannys weren't so great in the early 90's. The C6 3-speed auto, which doesn't have overdrive, was a far better tranny than the AOD, AODE and early E4OD overdrive autos they had back then.
I don't think Ford made E350 cutaway chassis for motorhomes with the 460 and ZF 5 speed manual overdrive tranny, but if they did, that's what I would look for.
The 460 put out more power in the '95-'98 model years, than in previous years. Or, if you can find one with the diesel the '95-'98 years, the 7.3 Powerstroke diesel is a more economical engine to run than the 460 and puts out more power too. Also, the later model year E40D trannys were better than the early ones. The E4OD is what you will find behind the 7.3 diesel. The earlier 7.3 IDI diesel (model years up to '94) is not as good as the Powerstroke and makes less power too.
