Got this one on Saturday. 64 d100 former California forestry truck. Poly motor, dash shifted 727 and dana 60. Also has 8 lug wheels, heavy duty suspension and a factory spot light. I am digging this one. Gonna be fun.

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!
