The filter adapter as well ?

Body had to be removed in order to install the big 8.1 engine...
The buttons below the tow/haul are for the power sliding door.
Good luck with your project... Victory red is quite rare color for those vans.

Mine is a 2006. I did not put the filter adapter on it, just the deeper pan.

I have not taking the time and worked on removing all that splatter thats on the rear
aft the rear tire... on the van
its hard.. and its almost like concrete..
so when I get the chance I guess I will use the concrete dissolver
I had bought when I cleaned the interior out .....
and see if I can get all of that splatter of the paint.

I'm not so sure that is a 155. In measuring mine, I found that 100" boards are about 20" short of going wheel to wheel. So, what I'm saying is make sure those boards are 120"

Oh, and nice flaps.
