Ford P100 Gearbox
Did the Ford P100 (sierra pickup truck) use a standard type 9 gearbox ?
Might have access to a free one would be useful to know what the ratios were
thanks

2nd......2.29:1
3rd.......1.38:1
4th.......1.00:1
5th........0.82:1
reverse...3.66:1

judging by those ratios i'd agree with you there conrod. first gear will not be much use apart from wheelspin if your not careful!

that makes sense the vehicle was a commercial after all. Need that first gear to move the 10 Tons of crap you just loaded on the back !!!
Just notices I posted this in the wrong place as well - should have been in eng and trans..... well it was getting late

10 tons in a P100?! Do me a favour. Half a ton and it'd struggle

You have to start off with 10 tons because 9 1/2 tons would fall though the rust holes in the butt
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Not wrong there Mark, the term FORD SIEVE-ARA based vehicle comes to mind. My dads P100 (hence the free gearbox) is like an aero all over. No amount
of welding is going to save it !!!
