1971-72 van dash question.

Hey guys,
Goofy question. I'm looking into getting a van for my business. I really need something enclosed, and a panel would be awesome, but a van might be better. I have a ton of stuff for these trucks, so hopefully I can use some stuff I have. Is the dash the same as our truucks on the 71-72 vans? Also, do they have leaf springs or trailing arm setups? Anyone have any pics or know where to get one around Houston? Thanks for the info guys!
Shawn

Never seen much of anything on van's that works on trucks. Here's a couple of googled images.

Yeah the 67-70 are different. The bodystyle changed in 71. Supposedly the dashes were used from the trucks. I know that to be the case in 73+ vans. Just didn't know what dashes were used in the 71-72 vans.
