Also check the FSS sensor located in the rear pumpkin axel up towards the top if you have been 4 wheeling or put the axle to far into water may have plugged or corroded the wires also make sure the vent tube back there is not plugged

Hello from Sacramento!

Looking forward to getting started on my 1964 P400 Ford Boyertown Delivery Van. She's all aluminum and running. Having the seat repaired currently and will need new wiper motors, and the passenger door is a bear to slide, but other than that, she's great.

Welcome to the forum. The folks here have deep knowledge and are very helpful. They can decode your vin plate and tell you the running gear and other details if you post the info in a request.


I hope to see mote photos of your 64 and maybe learn about your other projects.

Interesting truck. Sounds like it is in great shape considering its age.

Thanks! I see there is a wealth of information here. I also have a 1950 Divco and I'm following the "split rim" sagas on the site. I put a call into Stockton Wheel based on suggestions here.
