Skid Plates Ford E350 4wd Diesel

Hello,

I was hoping someone could tell me what company makes skid plates for the Ford E350 Diesel. I have searched the web but all that I can find are for jeep and suvs.
Also, looked on here but didn't see any.

Thanks for what ever help you can give.

Nathan

You might call SMB. They have put them on a few vans. Not sure if they make them or purchase from another source.
There are only a few spots I've hit and that is the front/rear diffs. I also worry about the Starcool condenser but most vans don't have that trouble.

Both SMB and Agile have fabricated skid plates for vans. I bet Weldtec Designs does as well. Some more info in this thread: http://www.sportsmobileforum.com/for...tes-16713.html

Why diesel? I mean, why not any van? Just curious if you meant specifically for the diesel for a reason.

I've wanted some kind of protection for my Amsoil filters. But yeah gas/diesel... there would be only a few differences. I'll bet Weld Tech can do something that would work well. I am still on the fence on diff plates. I saw one guy who jammed one into the driveline U-joint. One could argue that a plate could cause more damage but I've never really researched it.
