Does Anyone Know...

If a later model full size 1998 and up Ford bulkhead security screen will fit a later model Dodge van. I know I'm grabbing at straws with this question but I thought someone might have made the swap and could give me the info.

Thanks as always.

Hmmmm, not sure. The Ford and Dodge vans are totally different shapes. Sounds like a trip to the junkyard is in order. :)

[Mad Joe]

Thanks for the information.

I installed one in my 2000 that originally came from a Ford, or so I'm told. I have no idea what year the Ford was. I had to do a bit of modifying, but I did get it in and looking good.

Thank you Alloro:

What kind of mods did you have to do? Any cutting or bending of steel.

Thanks.

[alloro]

The only two real mods I did were one, the addition of the brackets at the top. Two, I had to add the tubular spacers on the passenger side because the seat didn't allow the divider to go forward enough for the side panel to bolt to the the wall.

Additional photos of the driver's side and a shot from the back. (p.s. ever see a double tube 4 ft. fluorescent light in a van? heh heh, electricians rule.)

Alloro:

Thanks for the photos and all of your advice.

BTW, those tubular spacers are just 1/2" conduit with 3/8" threaded rod through the center. Then there's a fender washer and nut on each end. Real easy and cheap to make.
