A van will have a chrysler rear in it probably not a dana, probably wouldn't last long

Dodge vans had an offset to the passenger side that the trucks didn't have.

Even if it is a Dana axle it would probably be a 30 spline 60 at best and is definitely weaker than what your truck came with.

I'd try to find a truck axle at all costs to save a bunch of headaches.
