I've had my 01 v10 ram3500 4x4 dually with a service box for about 10 or so years. 10mpg. I only use it for hauling serious loads.
Looks like I need a rear bumper and a hitch. Can’t have a dually without them. That deck is so wide that I need to find some mirror assamblies that will work for me. Kim
bought this a year or so ago 79 w300 no motor was a 360 i think , but dana 70's front n rear . the guy i got it from was trying to make it an earlier model for the smog laws here limit to 75 and under not requiring smog checks . and the frame on this think is stronger than i've ever seen . and i got all the tow rigging parts with it .
Is that a 57 next to it?
It’s Towmater!
That looks like a king-pin Dana 60 under the front.
yes my 57 d100 old school hotrod has a 60 413 n a466 push button iron auto with the spare mount on the bed side .
i was told it's the front drive the rock crawlers use .
the bed maker is the same company that built my roll back bed on my 70 d300
It sure looks like a king-pin Dana 60, don't worry its the good one and very desirable.
What is meant by a King-pin Dana 60?
No ball joints, the knuckles are held on with king-pins, alot stronger.
my wc41 has enclosed knuckles with pins .
So does my 68 200. But it's a dana 44.
peeled a 75 ramcharger , 440 auto dana 44 front 9 1/4 re ls 3.54 fd , all it did was dig holes . and scatter the front dana . that re ended up in my 64 d100 , it handles the load from my hp 383
Very nice. I would like to find a deal on an old Dodge flatbed like yours.

Are we looking at the same pic? That looks like typical ball joint front driving axle to me. It looks a little smaller than a 60, too, but I haven't crawled under my 76 for 20yrs.
Look closer they are not press in ball joints. They are bolted in.
well there both dana 70's under that w300

I made a mistake once, too: I thought I'd made a mistake.
I know what you mean, once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.
Nice truck!
