Differences in Ford Van.

I'm trying to figure out the difference between a 1992 Ford Econoline, and a 1992 Ford CF cargo van. I have some old police stye spotlights I'm thinking of mounting but for the mounting kits it offers the two options above, and I have a clue not one.

CF is cab forward. It's a cab-over-engine medium duty or larger truck. Think garbage truck with flat front end. No relation to E-series vans at all. Cargo is their name now I think similar to Transit in that it used to be a single model designation and is now an entire vehicle name.

THANK you! That sheds an enormous light on things. I was coming up with a complete blank on it and it never occured to me that in this case CF was cab forward. All I could think of was some form of E-series van.
