96 - 02 rear in an 89 van?

Post by ryanhettenbach »

Does anybody know any reason why a 96-02 rear WOULDN'T bolt up to an 89 van? I already have the steel leaf springs sine the van was originally a fleet vehicle.
Thanks in advance.

The only difference may be the parking brake cable. Everything else will bolt up.

sweet, I can deal with that.
I know that later models had a different ABS but the van has had the old, garbage ABS removed anyway.

You may have to deal with 6 lug axles. \:D/
