The 1980-1996 F150 did not have a track bar, at least in the US. Try and see if you can source a track bar from a 76-79 F150, they will have the strait axle.

Wait a second here. Before you order anything from a website, you really have to figure out what you have. All 1988 F-150 had an independent front suspension design called the TTB. It would be an absurd amount of work to put one of these things into a chevy van, so that's probably not what you have. Besides, IFS trucks don't have track bars.

I'm not even going to get into the driver's side axle drop problems that this swap would create.

You need to find an axle identification guide and figure out what front axle you have. What side is the differential on? Is there a cover and how many bolts hold it on? How many wheel lugs?
