Dude if you think you're gonna fare better in a head-on with a full-frame econoline you're just kidding yourself. For one thing theres not much sheet metal in front of you. Another thing is you have a thick steel frame. Whats that gonna do? Well it will transfer the impact to the other vehicle of course, and also, to you. Its well proven that a vehicle that folds up like a pop can is better. I would much rather have the body of my car absorb an impact than my spinal column.
