the differences were that there is a short tail and a long tail... the short tail is 6" and the long tail is 9". the driveshaft will not fit if you use the wrong one. some of the van ones had a different trans mount too...Its an awful lot of work to try and convert a short tail to a long tail and visa versa. THe bodies and mechanics along theyears are all the same tho
