P10 Box Sizes?

[RCDAD]

I'm thinking of a late 60s P10 for my next project. I've found a couple. There seems to of been different sizes available. One is a good 6 to 8 inches longer behind the rear tire. I know both aluminum and steel bodies were produced but know I see there are also differences in the box length. Can anyone please share some some knowledge on this? The longer version also has wider rear doors.
Thx in advance...

First of all.. Welcome to the board!

I can not really help you on all the differences in the lengths of the P10's I do know there are quite a few and the real short ones are hard to find. (commonly called ice cream trucks)
here is a thread on the P series vans to take a peek at.

I have a 68 shorty P10 waiting in the wings for a built 350/T400 and a full air ride suspension setup. unfortunately its a few vehicles down on the "to build" list.

Where to start? The 1970 Step-Van 7 P10s they were nominal 7ft (86") or 8 ft(98") inside length bodies on a 102" chassis. The inside heights were 65" or 69". The wide rear doors were optional but I am not sure of the model applicability. The Step-Van King and Aluminum Step-Van King bodies were much larger on several P20 and P30 chassis. Also there were a number of aftermarket body builders offering trucks built on the P series chassis. For some reason I'd like one as well maybe an Aluminum PE30/133" ... now if only Spicer Vee Drives were more prevalant. :-)
