My understanding/experience -
"Short" wheel base vans/ambos are the standard van wheelbase - vans come in regular back (the short one), or extended backs (the long one), but they have the same wheelbase - 138". "Long" wheel base ambos are much more common, and are 158". All the E450 ambos I have seen are the long ones. Most of the E350s are also the long ones. If you want a short ambo, look at the E350s only, and even then they will be relatively rare. The minimod/SRW ambos are more likely to be the short ones, but are narrower also. All have about the same rear overhang.
