It's been 8 years since this has been discussed, but wanted to share more info on the B-Series/Ram Vans.
Wikipedia has all of these vans as being made in Windsor, Ontario, and that information is wrong.
Allpar has two US plants making the B-Series van during the 1970s, it states that Fenton, Missouri (St Louis North) made them until 1980. I also found in the Standard Catalog of Light-Duty American Trucks a note in 1980 about production shifting to Windsor in March, 1980. I was able to confirm a bump in production in Windsor that month with Ward's Automotive Yearbook.
Allpar also lists the Warren Michigan Truck plant making these vans from 1972-77. Warren is where the A-series vans were made.
So I would say that the vans were US, possibly US or Canadian made until 1980, then definitely from 1981-end, they were all Canadian made.
How does this sound? Does anyone have any differing information? Otherwise, I will ask antp to do a mass change to all Ram Vans/Ram Wagons.
