Not a whole lot interchanges between vans and trucks. This questions comes up every now and then in the van forum.


Standard vans do exist, but good luck finding 'em. They were only made till 1990.

Vans had the 3 speed on the column,
4 speed OD top loader
NP435
And the M5OD. The NP435 and M5OD the shifter went through the doghouse, while the 4 speed OD, the shifter was right beside the drivers seat.

75-91 vans are pretty easy finding with a 300 6cyl, but the 92-96 with a 300 are quite rare.


Heres a few pics for those of you whos never seen a standard van.

78 E100 tree speed.


79 E100 NP435


1980 E150 4 speed OD


1990 E150 M5OD
