we are doin an fc ute at work and its very rusty so the owner bought a panel van so we could use the floor out of it.it has been surprising me how different little things are whilst ive been chopping it up to make it fit.my thoughts were that a wagon and panel van had the same floors.has anyone noticed the difference before?

Hi waynos.
               I would like to buy the inner bracing struts on the van if possible. There are six on a windowless van , three down either side . They run vertically from the roof line down to the top of the rear quarter panel.
              Thanks Brad.
Id rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal labotomy

the guy has the vents , that is all.
cant you just weld panels into where the windows are?
you dont need to replace the whole side

G'day Waynos, thanks for the reply I'd still be interested in the vents if you can get him to ring me thanks.

...G'day Waynos  ..  late reply to an old topic  ..  the FE/FC panel van and wagon used the same tailgate, whereas the ute used an entirely different end gate.  I'm pretty sure the lower gate hinge area would've been a little different between the van and ute, and possibly the location of the fuel tank...??
