by Guest Sat Feb 07, 2009 4:58 pmI just noticed the long wheelbase on the "A" vans are called a 108. Is that the cargo floor length from engine cover to back door? Does the "100" have 100"s between the cover and doors? Are there floors longer than the G and E vans? I know nothin about the A vans and am kinda REALLY startin to like the look.

Not a stupid question (if you don't know it's not stupid) The sizes for chevy and dodges are 90" & 108". That is the wheel base for the vans. It the measure ment from the center of the front wheel to the center of the back wheel. On econoline I'm sure they are all 90" wheel base and the Supervan is bigger, but the wheel base is the same (just longer behind the back wheels

Most A-108 vans have heavy duty 11" front brakes and sway bar standard as well as the heavy duty GVW. I think 5200# was the highest.

yes it's the wheel base measurement.. you can see on my 70 A108 they add about 18 inches just behind the seats to lengthen the wheel base...
