If this van is in good shape, this is a great price.  Have the van checked
out and snap it up if the checkout confirms no major problems.  If it has a
locking rear differential there will be a little control panel for the rear
diff located below the radio.  The control panel has a little "picture" of a
drivetrain w/ 4 wheels, 3 knob positions, and the rightmost knob installed.

Good luck,
