I have one.
Yes, it will fit, provided there is no shelving in the van and you have the extended version. Only a few sheets will fit flat on the floor. The wood sits from the seat base all the way to the back doors.
The wood will also fit on an angle, leaning on the passenger seat. More fits in this way (the only way if you have shelving), but you have to watch the upper weatherstripping.
Ten foot material (conduit, pipe and such) will fit on an angle from the passenger floorboard to the rear.

That is 6" tall so theoretically I should be able to get
12 sheets of 1/2" in there.
I often carry sheets on edge against the pass seat. I almost never have the floor space empty enough to try laying sheets flat.
10' stuff easily fits on the floor bumped up to the dog house, or along the outside of the pass seat. I carry dripedge, and copper stuff that is all that length...no problem.
One more thing...look for an AWD version..you'll never look back. I just last week got mine hung up after 5 yrs of trying to get it stuck. If the axel hadn't broke it would of gotten out under it's own power.

Sphere,
May I ask what you got hung up in to break an axle?
Also, do you pull a trailer? And, if you do, how much have you towed with it?
I have a 98 AWD Astro pass. van. I keep the middle seat in to haul two kids. When I need to move bigger tools/materials, I pull a 6' x 14' cargo trailer.

Ahhh..THAT day. We had a dusting of snow, and a nitwit coming towards me fished his rear end in my lane ( well, its a one lane road..its all OUR lane). I had trees and fence on my right and a fairly good drop from hardtop to the ditch. I hung it into the edge of the ditch ( I know how most people overcorrect in that scene) and tried to ride the ditch to miss the trees.
When, it started getting tipsy, I cut wheel hard left enough to "snowplow" the mud/junk..without climbing back up to the hardtop. The RF wheeel was at an odd attack, and went scooting into the ditch deeper and stubbed on the far side.
I sorta was hung diagonally with the LR not biting. The other 2 wheels couldnt get enough bite...just spun. Tractor pull out time.
No, I don't pull a trailer...way too many miles on "the blue box" to abuse it that way. It would kill it at over 210,000 miles.

I love my 1984 Ford E350 XL van. It use to be a 15 passenger school activity bus. Wife bought it at auction and I fixed it up. Took out the seats and the seat belts to make it one long run from front to back. I can put my 16 foot extension ladder in it and close the doors on it. It also sits on a 1 ton chases. I found that out when I tried to buy a tow hitch for it and nothing would fit. Had to have one made and it was cheaper then the ones I was trying to buy. The engine is big enough to do the job too.
By the way I was born in K'zoo and raise in a little bitty town called Hickory Corners. Graduated from Gull Lake Community High School. I don't miss those winter one bit.
Hope you enjoy your new van.
