Donor van ?
I am in the process of rigging up my 08 quigley. I am under the assumption that 92+, doors, roof line etc are the same. I am looking at getting a donor conversion van and gutting it for parts. Can anyone tell me if 92+ doors will swap out on an 08.
Best regards

I do believe the door parts etc are much the same from '92 forward. Obviously when the front end sheet metal changed with the new grille and hood those might not transfer very well.
I'm in the auto glass business and know for a fact the windows are all the same size which means they'll interchange from at least '92 through '08.
If you're looking for a donor van carefully check inside any door you'll purchase---rust hides inside only to emerge after its been disturbed by refinishing etc. Its a bit more work before hand but yields a sound re-fitted van once you're done.

"92+ doors" themselves should swap. However few of the parts attached to the doors "are the same". Exterior mirrors changed, interior panels changed, and I believe the wire harness/connectors changed w/electrical components in doors.
While windows stayed the same size, there have been several different colors & reflective coatings that complicate matching glass.
