The only differance was the spring packs in the standard trucks, of course there were some heavy 3/4 tons (and a few 1/2 tons) with the big knuckle front axle, but the average W100-W200 used the same axles.
As for 59 and 60, yes the W100s had 8 lug axles, but the W200s had 6 bolt axles.
I think the Dana 60 was a stronger axle then the 6 lug coporate, but as for the front axle, both the W100 and the W200 used the same small knuckle Dana 44, just the drums were different.
The logic is lost on me, but that is how Dodge did it!
Good luck with your new toy, it looks like a good one!
