Hello Brenda...you will find some identifying information on the actual real axle casing. Stamped numbers, I.D. tag or you can search your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or make, model year and series on the internet to see what options were available for rear end gearing ratio's.

Yes you should stick with a similar or identical rear end to ensure proper mounting bracket alignment and gear ratio choices. Dana Model 60, 70 & 80 Axles are not internally identical.

Looks like the standard differential carrier for the E150 is a 8.8" (*10 bolt). Standard, Includes Spider gears, 31 spline, 7/8" shaft.

* Ten Bolt - The rear end cover plate contains 10 mounting plate bolt holes.

SOURCE: Will a rear end out of E350 Ford interchange with a Chevy 3500 dually

Is the c/k 3500 4 wheel drive?If it is 4WD,you must retain the same gear ratios for both front and rear axles,or the transfer case will be damaged.If it is 2 wheel drive,you can install any gear you like.I believe the Ford E350 rear axle is a Dana 70,as i have rebuilt 2 of that model,along with Dana 60's.The Ford unit likely will not be a bolt in.It will probably require professionally welding new mount brackets on the Ford axle housing.The width needs to be measured from inside the brake backing plate to the other brake backing plate to see if it will physically fit.Good luck.

SOURCE: 97 ford e150 van inside windshield steams up. is

the heater core is located in the black box that is in the pictures (see below). To get access to it, you will need to remove the blower housing. The blower housing will separate from the main HVAC box, and will give you some space once it is out. Then we need to wrestle the main box loose from the firewall. That means dealing with the A/C pipes, heater hoses, vacuum hoses, mounting stud nuts under the hood and mounting bolts inside. Once the box is moving, the dash needs to "get floppy" so you can pull back the passenger side far enough to give the main HVAC box enough room pull away from firewall, and to "roll" back towards you. At this point the heater pipes will be visible, and the cover that contains the heater can be removed. It's a big job. Your car has A/C. The description in the haynes book is for a car w/o A/C. If you're not comfortable with plastic dash board removal, this job is not for you

SOURCE: 4l60e transmission

Provided that your truck is 2WD and not 4WD, it looks like it will work. Check the length of both and make sure they match, the 2WD is longer than the one in the 4WD's and it dosent look like they can be interchanged without tearig into the casing and swapping parts.

Also check the bolt patterns on both, as some earlier versions of that transmission are 4 bolt instead of 6 bolt.

As far as the flywheel goes, you'll probably be ok with yours, I really cant answer that unfortunately.

Need specifics [how tos] for 1993 Ford E150 Conv van.351,5.8L,8cyl,[5766]

First, if you have a shop manual for vans you have as much or more info than the folks who answer questions on this website.
A 5.0 engine and your 5.8 are more or less the same, just different size pistons.
A shop manual should have wiring diagrams in the back of the book.
You will need to figure out if you are having a problem with fuel or ignition assuming you have good compression.
One common problem with Ford products that won't start is the EEC relay and the fuel pump relay.
There is a list of options with no spark, including the coil, cap-rotor-wires, plugs, and the ignition module that fires the coil.

Under the engine, between the rear of the engine and the front of the transmission. It will be on a mount with an oil cooler, (it has metal fins) on the driver's side.
