We recently picked up a 2013 'used' Ford Transit Connect for use as a service vehicle.

It had rear seats previously installed. (now gone)

When trying to install the American Van bulkhead, its obvious that the floor isnt as high as it should be like the back cargo area....

American Van guy was super helpful and knew this, but he told me it was a Ford issue and to find the filler piece there.

Ford doesnt have any idea what the part is...

Its like it just needs to extend the cargo floor forward to the back of the front seats.

Does anyone have a link or part number they can share... I cant possibly be the only one who has converted these from passenger to commercial use.

Might have to make something custom, but if I can find it it would be nice to just have it already ready to install.
If you can't be good, be good at it.

I removed the rear seats from a Nissan Versa hatchback to create a mini-minivan. I had to build the floor up with 2X2's to match the cargo area height. Then i built a new floor with MDF that is split and then attached on the back side with a piano hinge so that it can be removed easily.

I suspect you need to do something similar.

Who is this "Ford" person you talked to? I'd seek out the most successful Transit dealers in Chicago and maybe even the tri-state area, and ask them about this. You want to talk to the people who deal with these exact models.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
