Rarity of W-350 SRW

I just bought a 92 W-350 4x4 Single rear wheel and was wondering on a estimate of how many they made of the 1st gen. I had never had seen one in person till I found this one on ebay. I have seen 3/4 ton SRW and 1ton DRW in the 1st gen.

Maybe converted? That's what I'm looking to do with my DRW.

I know of two. One is an '89 and the other is like a 92-93. Both of them were bought new. The newer one came from the dealer with a 250 badge on one side and a 350 on the other. It also had a 350 badge in the glove box. Mine will be a SRW soon.

I've seen a few of them around, but they're really not very common. What seems to be even more rare is a D350 1st gen SRW (2wd).

I have a 92 W350 SRW. As it says in my signature, 5 spd manual. The only one I have ever seen. Happened upon it by accident and bought it the same day, it wasn't even advertised. Needed TLC when I got it but mainly cleaning type stuff.

You shuld just be able to pull the spacers off and run the hubs you have. The 250 and 350 is the same just more springs in the rear. The front is all the same with the cummins.

What does make your truck rare is the 7" miter cut stacks. I want to see some pictures of them.

my 91 is a w350 srw 5-speed. original owner had it stretched but i came from the factory a regular cab truck. I think they made a decent number of the w350 SRW reg cabs... what i don't think i've seen is a w350 SRW CC. however as stated the only difference was the number of springs and weight ratings on the sticker, lol. throw a heavier spring pack on the back and you got a 350!

Yours is the first ive heard of with a 5spd manual. every other ive seen/read about was automatic.

my 93 is a chassis cab ordered for CP&L Electric.
