An odd duck, but I like it. Find the frame VIN to be sure of what you're dealing with.

Thanks for the comments. I bought the truck like this. It doesnt ride bad at all. The bed is a factory short bed (gas cap has diesel fuel sticker on it), the frame is a 3/4 or 1 ton and is unmodified. I dont know what combination someone would use to put together. Thoughts?

Would the SWB be Helpful if i were to pull a sled?



Here are some more pics

The frame VIN is stamped on a frame rail (not a crossmember), according to the FSM. Where exactly I don't know.

My Crew Cab has a frame vin stamped almost directly above the front axle on the passenger side. Something I was not aware of until yesterday...I stumbled on it while asserting how badly I do not want to remove the cab....but I am going to do it anyway. Being military, mine might be diff than a civilian version...I didn't check the others.

Not really you would have to put a lot of wieght over the front or it would get really light

I'm looking at the 1" spacer under the front left of the bed and the bed sitting on the frame in the back right of the bed. Wonder what that is all about.

VIN should be on front of frame by left tire or near the steering box.

No way that can be stock? Never seen or heard of a SWB DRW from Dodge. Could it be a prototype or something? Definately cool.

Definitely not a factory project-goes to show how easy it is to mix and match these old girls The front bumper has got to be early 80's or older. Definitely nothing that came on a '93.

Prototype sounds good. Thats my story and I am sticking with it. RARE $$$$$

# on the frame is 52057580 P
2078


(see the "P" means prototype !!)

Tires are 245 75 R16


Tell me what the # means fellows.


The Title reads(Model Description) W200(model) W20 (year) 1991
