i may be wrong(if so, one of these guys will line me out) but if you have an f250(3/4 ton) and the van is a half ton, wouldn't you want to stick with the heavy duty parts?

i'm not gonna commit to anything, but my best guess would be no. you might be able to use the calipers from the van, and possibly the steering, but i would guess that would be it. i wouldnt get my hopes up on using anything. check the ford catalogs and cross reference some stuff. go to napa and do it maybe

You have a highboy as in a 4X4 highboy correct? If so the brake's and caliper's will not work, completely different setup.
