Ford 8.8?

I know the van older rear ends used to be narrower than the truck rearends, but...What about now a days.
Does any one know if there is a difference between an E150,8.8 and an 8.8 out of an F150 before they switched to disk brakes???
I want to go to 4.10s, LS, and a used rear end may be loads cheaper than getting gears and an LS set up.

The vans from the late 70's on, are normally wider than the F series trucks.

Right now it has 235/75-15s on it.
It's a conversion with a 4.6.
I plan on doing a little towing, but aprt from that, it is just alot of van to get and keep moving and real hard on it in the hills.
I also want to put an LS on it.

Took forever to get either of those previous post to post...Oh well.

Thanks chrono, but I am pretty sure at this point that it is narrower.
