swap of a penthouse top

Hi everyone I'm a newbie on this forum.

Anyone has ever swaped a Penthouse top from a Econoline of the 80's onto a newer Generation E van 1992 to 2010 ????¸

Thank's

Dan

I know there have been more radical swaps- VW to Ford. I think you'd be OK, but it's easy to advise on other people's projects!

If I remember correctly the earlier ford vans are an 1 1/2 wider so it would not work...

Thank's guys for the replies.

1 1/2 '' wider ? That's easy to check. I will take the mesurement and come back to you ASAP

Thank's again
