New Guy with P-100

I bought a 1966 P-100 Parcel Delivery last week, I'm not sure where I fit into this forum but I believe the drivetrain probably is very close to a cross between first generation Econoline and F-100. My first wheels were a 49 F-1 (should have kept it!). I had several 68 thru 77 F-100's and a couple Econolines over the years, so Henry and I have a long relationship. Thanks for letting me join.

Welcome to FTE. The P series trucks were related to the F series. That is, they used the same chassis and driveline. Most of your questions can probably be handled by the guys in the Older, Classic and Antique forums.

Don't forget to check out your state chapter too.

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me if the wheels are the same as the F-100? I want to try to find a set of 16" wheels for it so I can use LT tires.

Looks like a 1966 F-100 should be 5 on 5.5" per: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/2...asurement.html

I bet your P-100 will be the same, just give it a quick measure.

Welcome aboard!

Not sure where to ask, so I'm posting here. I wanted to post in the WTB Parts but it says I can't. What do I have to do to be able to post there? Thanks, John

Check out: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/f...cement171.html

The important part for your question: "FTE no longer requires members to have passed the 25 post mark in order to access these features of the site. These features will now be available to all who have more than 5 posts and 10 days as a registered member of the community."

. . . so it looks like on Saturday or Sunday you will have passed ten days and will suddenly be able to post there.
