Dumb question maybe
Were opening windows and option on rear doors of 2001 Ford E150?
Would love to find some in a wrecking yard or wherever and add them for some ventilation
Thanks

I think so... my 1995 has opening rear door windows, I would imagine the Econoline door openings are all similar enough, but I'm no expert. Maybe someone else will chime in....
The nice thing is there a re a lot of these vans in wrecking yards

Not a single door ding in the whole body and zero rust
Adding a bed, 12v Dometic Fridge, 12 television, 400watts Renogy Solar as well to run everything
Health issues promted me to make this choice and I am happy with it reducing my monthly bills to almost nothing
But lack of place or tools to aid in the conversion has stalled progress even though storage is full of amazon deliveries of goodies to add to the van
The delays are frustrating but will get through it

Progress is slow but for anyone wanting to follow or talk vans would love to hear from you

Yep. I feel you completely. I had already sold my house before buying my van. I had the money. Curse Amazon and Ebay... I had the stuff and I had the time. But I had no place to park for more than a day or two at a time. And the one house I stayed at for awhile had a car in the drive and I always felt bad asking them if I could move there car for the day let alone for a few days. As a long time contractor I had all the tools I would ever need but I had to keep them in storage as I had no place to park them. A real pain in the ass driving to storage, loading tools and then having to return them after each use. Lol I am home in Portland for the summer hoping to finally finish building my cabinet doors and I find myself in the same situation again. Yes my friend, you are correct in saying the progress is slow.

The rear doors are the same from 92 to 14. I am quite sure they didn't change at all. I just installed pop-out windows on my 2010 E350. The doors still have the holes and the cut-outs for those windows and all the installation hardware.

I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if you find a source for these near Sacramento. I live in Elk Grove and have recently purchased a 2005 E350 that I'm going to be working on once I recover from rotator cuff surgery. One of the things on my list is opening rear windows. I have two now, one on the front barn door and one behind the driver's seat.
