This configuration was common on Sweptline era trucks too. There were some 4wd crew cab long beds built as well. 1970 Dodge d100/eventually going on a 77 D100 frame

If it was like the 3 crew cab short box 4x4's that I've had they were available for things like hydro, forestry, railway & law enforcement (one of mine had been an R.C.M.P. truck) All three of mine had Dana 60's front & rear, 205 trans cases, one was a W350 the other two were W200's. The 200's both had dual tanks on the short box. All factory & all on the build sheet under the hood. As far as I know they didn't made a crew cab 4x4 long bed but when it comes to Dodge NEVER SAY NEVER. 7656316-IMG_0993a.jpg (231 downloads)

No factory 165" 4WD's Not the first frame listed in any of the factory parts books for it I've never seen a 72-85. I've seen between 5 and 10 63-71(through 73 for medium duty). I'm sure they were probably all special orders and some were pulled off the assembly line to have the frame extended. Prior to 69 Dodge didn't make any long bed crew cabs, but if one was ordered it was converted. This truck was in the same family since it was new. It has a factory SERT sticker with wheelbase conversion mentioned. This truck also has a SERT sticker with the same info. Has SERT sticker. This one was special ordered and does have a 165 inch wheelbase. The trucks above are all 156 inch wheelbases. By the time this truck was built they put the SERT info on the VIN plate, but since Dodge now had frames of this length there was no need for a conversion. The VIN plate does list 133 as the wheelbase but it has two SERT descriptions added for Crew Cab. The original owner was accidently charged for both cabs but was refunded. I know nothing about this and it might be a conversion. The W500 was available as a crew cab with no bed and a 175 inch wheelbase. 1970 Dodge d100/eventually going on a 77 D100 frame
