I was talking to a guy about how my kick down isn't right since I swapped over to my 650 Edelbrock on my 84 Ram. He told me to get the kickdown off a Van that came w/ a factory 4bbl. So I'm curious if any of you van guys have one for sale. Thanks!

Does your old linkage (2bbl) have a threaded adjuster at the carb end. If so you can use a short piece of all-thread and a coupler nut to extent it.... It worked for me.
As I submitted, I realized your signature is for a truck.
You might be able to use the linkage from a 4bbl car also as there is more room for movement than in a van.... A car linkage can be modified by bending to fit a van, I have also done this.
(If this is for a truck it should be posted in the truck sub-section)

This is one I'm not sure of. Don't know if 4bbl. vans and 4bbl. trucks used the same kickdown. I was able to find a 4bbl. kickdown linkage of off a Ram pickup that I used on a '69 Dodge van I had that I swapped over to a 4bbl. carburetor. It worked fine, BUT the early flatnose vans had plenty of room behind the engine to back of the engine box.

I posted in the Van section cause I was trying to see if any of you guys had one for sale. I was wondering if a truck one would work but the guy told me to get a van one? Didn't know if the van one was different etc.

I don't have any unfortunately, but you might find a 4bbl. van in a local junkyard. I can't imagine the van one being different than a pickup, but I'm not 100% positive on that.
