Default will an '89 roof fit my '73 van? I want a hi-top

I found a nice high top roof on a 1989 extended length van in the junkyard. I want to put it on my 1973 maxivan. I haven't fine the measurements yet but does anyone know if it should fit?

Also, if you have any advice on installing it, I would be interested.

I don't know the dimensions of the '70s Dodge vans but I remember them as being a lot wider than my 2000. Exact fit? No. Can you make it fit ? Sure, maybe

The external dimensions for 2nd and 3rd gen Dodge vans are on the wiki page.

Thanks. Too bad they don't have the 1st gen dimensions there. It did mention that the 2nd gen had a longer rear extension. If the width is close enough, I'm sure I can make it fit for sure (maybe).

Looks like it's off to the junkyard with a tape measure.

You must ask your question in the proper forum.

Home of the
'71-'77 Mopar B-Van Forum

http://moparbvans.proboards.com

Typically they can answer anything about your van era and a some info up to the 1983 era.
