The best thing to do is find a local junkyard that still has a few that are in good shape body wise. Get all the removable panels you need then buy one whole one for the other parts you need to cut out. It's a lot easier and cheaper in the long run.

Do you know where you can get body mounts for them? Do you use regular E-series mounts or do they use special ones for quadravan

Sorry. Don't know. Also just remembered mine's an 81. But try to get a hold of the guy at pathfinder-vans . If you search Pathfinder Quadravan on google it is the first one up. Good luck!

Quadravans were not made by Ford, so everything is the same as Econolines except the front end 4WD conversion.
The Econoline sheet metal is the same 1975/1991.

I think its 75 through 92 that are the same. I don't know if the later vans fit on the fram as well, but the bodies are different. Of course the interiors changed a bit from the seventies. I swapped an 88 on my frame.

4x4 truck frame
I dont know nothing about 4x4 vans but I have a 91 e 150 with a near perfect body and low milage 5.0 ,my question is ,can you just mount the body on to a f150 4x4 frame of the same year or would it be easer to just find the parts and mount them to the vans frame?
