Re: Installing E-track in a cargo vanOur Econoline van came with a steel front wall which is a valuable component to being able to use E track effectively but a proper length load bar might suffice. The van arrived with a bare metal interior, nothing but frame ribs and exterior sheet metal. We diligently custom cut 1/2" plywood ( bends well to fit the contours of the body ) to fit the side doors, passenger side panel and a couple of separate pieces to fit the driver side panels. Used flat head stainless sheet metal screws after pre-drilling into the frame ribs to attach all of the plywood to the van. Painted everything white to improve visibility then screwed the E track into the plywood with pan head screws. It's proved quite reliable for eight years.
