Can windows from a van conversion be used on a bus conversion?

I'm not sure about current van models, but vans usually have curved sides so the conversion windows are curved to fit the sides.

Windows designed for flat sides should work if they can be mounted. I never noticed if conversion van windows are mounted in a molding or with a flange ring. I am guessing a molding which would be difficult to use.

Dave,

Van windows have a slight curve to them.

I have four NOS conversion windows for Ford vans.

If you can't physically get ahold of the windows I would make a template against the side of a van made of cardboard and check the curvature.

The windows I have the PO thought they would work, but too much curve for my straight sides.

Best of luck

Cliff

You might sell them to an RTS owner/converter. They have nice curved sides. (The RTS I mean ... not the owners)
