The GVWs were higher so they could avoid all the polution equipment. The standard spring ratings were higher on the D150s but D100s could be ordered with the higher rated springs as well.

D150's did not come along until mid year 77. 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.

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

I bought a 76 and a 78 new. 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.

Yeah it's great! If I remember correctly (its been awhile since my truck has ran) All they look for is a PCV valve.

My '87 D100 was used by the first owner to pull a 5th wheel trailer. 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!

Like Sam stated the 50's labeling came in mid 77. 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.

The D100/150 stuff is confusing. My 81 stepside is a D150, originally a /6. The 88 shorty I had was a D100 with a 318. My research showed that in 88 to get a 360 it had to be a D150...
