Dodge P300 Van Parts & Accessories

The Dodge P300 Van is the cab-forward workhorse of Dodge's commercial van lineup, built around a full-frame ladder chassis with the engine positioned ahead of the driver. Produced from the early 1960s through the 1970s, these vans used the 225 Slant-Six, 318 LA V8, and 360 LA V8 depending on model year and spec. Parts sourcing has improved considerably as the classic commercial truck restoration market has grown, and Mopar-spec components remain widely available.

Popular Upgrades

The most-ordered P300 Van parts are tune-up kits including spark plugs, distributor caps, rotors, and points sets for pre-electronic ignition examples. Carburetor rebuild kits and replacement Holley or Carter units for the 318 and 360 engines are perennial sellers. Exhaust manifold gaskets, replacement manifolds, and radiator hoses also move consistently, along with brake hardware including wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and master cylinder rebuild kits.

Performance & Handling

The 360 LA V8 is the strongest stock option in these vans and benefits significantly from aftermarket exhaust manifolds or tube headers, which free up considerable restriction compared to the factory cast iron pieces. Electronic ignition conversion kits for both the 318 and 360 are a high-value upgrade that eliminates point maintenance and improves cold-start performance.

What brake system does the Dodge P300 Van use?

Early P300 Vans used a single-circuit drum brake system front and rear. Upgrading to a dual-circuit master cylinder is one of the most practical safety improvements available, as single-circuit systems provide no hydraulic redundancy in the event of a line failure. Drum hardware including wheel cylinders, return springs, and self-adjusters are all still available as direct replacements.

Are P300 Van parts compatible with P200 Van components?

Many engine and fuel system components overlap between the P200 and P300 Vans when equipped with the same LA V8 engines. Chassis and suspension components diverge more due to the P300's heavier axle rating. Confirm the specific GVW rating and axle code on your van before ordering load-rated steering or suspension parts.
