Thanks guys! I'm having a blast tearing it apart. Needs front floor pans but is otherwise solid. I hope to be cruising around this summer.

Phone and power companies got D100 2wd too. They ordered them with D200 axles so easy interchange of on shelf parts.
But I had a OD Green US Army Maintenance bin 67 D200 with a \6 and 4 speed. It had 17's on it. Its Dana had 4:36:1 gears. Same spotlight too. Had never been off Ft Lewis from day of delivery. When I retired in 1994 it had 32,000 miles on it. From the garage to the coffee shop to the job, to lunch, back to job and back to garage.

What was the name of the forum? Sweptline.org There is a lot on that SERT sticker. The D100s usually came with 5 lug axles, but this appears to be a special order and not common. The 61-68 W100s all came with 8 lug axles and a short bed.

Oh well, I'm registering at sweptline.org to learn a little more about this thing. Thanks guys.

years back i chatted up a cemetery worker that had a tan sweptside and i thought it had 19,s he said it was BLM surplus and everyone wanted to buy it---he mentioned they even had a club----here is my interpretation----bob Oh man, that is cool. Quite similar to mine. I like it!

And I just ran the vin. Its an early 65. When you said it was dash shifted I wondered if it was a 65. The 61-64 autos were technically dash shifted too, but it was a push button shifter to the left of the steering wheel. The early 65s switched to the lever on the dash to the right of the steering wheel.

Does yours by chance have extra steel welded onto the frame rails? I had a very similar 64 or 65, 25ish years ago, and it had 4.56 gears, poly 318, dash shifter, 8 lug wheels, and it had a short flatbed installed when I got it so not sure the original bed style.
But the frame rails had additional steel welded to the the underside to make the overall height of the frame taller/thicker. IIRC it was like a 3/4" or so flat strap the full length of each frame rail. Supposedly this was because it was a Forestry truck for the conditions in which it was intended to be used.

I guess the shifter is not unique in this case..
