Elvis, you have the same conversion unit I have. Mine is based on a GMC chassis but the window placement and roof mounting is identical to mine. If you've ever wondered, Coachmen had three models and we both have the Horizon.
Ive seen vans with these tops, the guy that posted the dodge merry miller conversion have the same top we have. Coachmen made 2 different high top roofs, I like the one we have better than the lower one with just one window on the front. Your right your van is just like mine, but mines is 19feet and urs is 17 for sure. I like chevy when I was younger but after seeing the econolines I really fell in the love with them, I think the older econolines 91 and down models have more of a truckier looking hood fenders and front end and sit higher than the chevy and dodges. But I do have to admit that the motor in the dodges is better than ford. I had a 97 coachouse with the 5.2 318 and it had so much more power and pickup than the 5.8 engine i got now, even tho the dodge was a 3500 as opposed to my coachmen now which is a 250 model, the dodge was much quicker and had more power. Econolines ride and feel more like a truck and the dodges feel just more like a car.
