Hey all,

Does anybody know about the differences in doghouses? I visited the junkyard today and compared one from a 1977 van and a 1999 ish van. THey were identical, save the ashtray. So mefigured that they are all the same. Picked out a nice one, got it home and discovered that mine does not have a tranny hump and that it is shorter than the one I picked out (probably due to the A/C vent housing on the 1976). On what years are they compatible?

Thanks!

Dan

Typically vans of the 71-77 vintage should fit but there are be some exceptions and/or differences.

Several of us also belong to a 71-77 Dodge van specific forum and there was a recent thread outlining the differences found. You should find that useful. Here is the link:

Good luck.

78 was the year of the new dash. As stated earlier 71 to 77 should be the same.

There were differences early on, like 71-74, then 75-77. 78-97 should basically be the same with minor differences in style. 98-03 were very short covers due to the fact that engine was moved forward significantly.
