In the world of Ford Transit vans, the B pillar provides structural support and safety but leaves an ugly blob of foam in the interior of the van. Whether you're a camper, adventurer, or business owner, understanding the B pillar's significance and exploring customization options can elevate your Transit experience. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of B pillar Transit vans, discussing essential components, and popular customization choices as well as make clear our new products planned for the B pillar transition trim kits for the Ford Transit chassis.

Where is the B Pillar in the Transit?

The B pillar in the Transit van is a vertical support structure located between the front and rear doors. It connects the roof and chassis, ensuring structural integrity and stability. The B Pillar factory blobs in the threshold above the driver and passenger seats are foam pieces installed by van manufacturers. As you attack paneling and interior kits in the van it is important to consider how to cover these challenging areas in your van build. We offer B Pillar transition kits for Transit that will go tightly over this space and give a plane to take ceiling and wall kits up to.
