This Ford reference concerns body attachment to Transit chassis-cab and cutaway vehicles. It is useful for understanding that body configuration, but its diagrams are not a general underfloor mounting map for a Transit cargo van.

Open The Body Attachment Reference

The seven-page extract is marked Ford Transit & E-Transit 2023MY FNA, published November 2022. It contains printed pages 178–184 of the Body And Equipment Mounting Manual. Its scope includes chassis-cab/cutaway body work, frame attachment holes and subframe mounting.

Match The Body And Wheelbase

The attachment-hole drawings are labelled for chassis/cutaway frame top flanges at 138-, 156- and 178-inch wheelbases. Match both the body type and wheelbase before using a drawing. Do not transfer these dimensions to a cargo-van floor or assume that a visible factory hole is approved for a tank, bracket or camper component.

The extract also includes wheelhouse information, a second-unit-body attachment strategy, a subframe illustration and a reinforcement plate that must remain intact. The surrounding manual and Incomplete Vehicle Manual provide context referenced by the extract.

Use The Right Reference For Your Conversion

For a cargo-van conversion, first obtain the Ford publication for the exact vehicle and proposed attachment. Check the relevant mounting, body-modification and corrosion-prevention sections together.

Use Ford Pro Upfitter Publications to find the appropriate vehicle documents. Read the related Transit No Drill Zones Reference before planning body penetrations. For the broader conversion workflow, continue with the Project Planning Guide.
