I'm curious too.

First figure out what axle that model van used. I'm guessing a Dana axle, and ring and pinion would not interchange with the Eaton axle. Or did they use the GM/Eaton axle, that would be strange. ?

Could the confusion be that the Ford Van did share the same model Dana axle with a later model GM truck, and incorrectly thinking that all GM 1 tons used the same axle it must therefore swap... Except our AD 3/4 and 1 tons have the Eaton axle.
