I have the original build sheet and it says D100. I am curious if D150's were just different badges or actually a different model then the D100's. Thanks!

The standard spring ratings were higher on the D150s but D100s could be ordered with the higher rated springs as well. 1970 Dodge d100/eventually going on a 77 D100 frame

The designation was primarly used for heavier gross vehicle rating...hence less emissions components. They did get different badges. The rating for th 150's should be over 6000 GVWR...and is considered Heavy Duty Emissions...thru 1978 for federal.

Previous owner said it was a warlock, Had the stripes around the dash and on the doors still, But I am thinking the dealership might have just added the warlock pinstriping to an already highly optioned truck to get it out the door as the Warlock Code Is not on the Build Sheet. I am going to have to slap some D100 badges on it.

OK so it is entirely possible for a 1977 that is a D100 with a weight over 6000 to be badged D150?

Some 3/4tons have the 4400# axle rating. You would think all 1tons(300/350) would be 4400# rating. Well I found out that is Not true. My crewcab needs rotors and I came across a kid parting a 350 on craigslist. The dam thing was Hilton suspension. 3300# rated axle for a "1ton" The dumbist thing ever.

In 76 it was a suspension option on a D100 and the truck came through with no emission controls. The 78 was badged as a D150 and it was the same package. I tell you it was a great vehicle to buy in the mid 70's, the cars were full of emissions jeejaws and hoses and none of them did any good anyway. Pop the hood on a 150 and it was clean as a whistle under there. Sheldon

I never saw the trailer so I don't know how big a 5th wheel it was, but the evidence is still in the bed (holes for 5th wheel mount and a female electrical connector in the driver side inner bed wall). I have not counted the spring leaves, but it does ride stiff. Amazingly enough the power train is (for now) 318/2 barrel/727 and 8.25 axle! 1986 Dodge Ramcharger 440 2wd, Bracket Racer Under Construction 1998 Ram 2500 QuadCab, new daily driver. 2008 Honda Element 2014 Carry-On 7x14 Cargo Trailer

"Im going to pass you, But you could have easily replaced the door with a different vin." Oh really? Like it is any harder to put a new core support on that has a different Data Plate?

I've found that Dodge had 2 axle ratings available on their trucks. My 73 W200 had a lite and a heavy duty axle. No W250 in 73. My 92 D350 came with a 3600lb front axle or the Cummins like mine has the 4000lb axle. No D300 in 92. 72 Satellite Sebring Plus 440, 72 Dart 5.9 4-spd, 68 Valiant, 73 W200, 78 D100 sb, 78 D200, 98 DAKOTA, . Moparmarks Parts & Restorations Desert Mopar Metal Grand Jct.

F100 was a 1/2T and the F150 was a 5/8T for a few years. 72 Satellite Sebring Plus 440, 72 Dart 5.9 4-spd, 68 Valiant, 73 W200, 78 D100 sb, 78 D200, 98 DAKOTA, .
