My 69 W500 has the same "SPEC" on almost all items on the data plate.
My parts and shop manuals (original Dodge) do specify the NP540 as an
option. There are some variations which don't seem to be clear. For
example, the 5 speed shift pattern on my O/D trans does not match any of
those mentioned in the owner's manual. I think they just made very few of
these trucks and were willing to special-order items.
What part of the country are you in? It would be real interesting to
see two or more of these monsters side-by-side wouldn't it?
What else can you say about the specs of your truck?
Do you have power steering? If so, I would be real interested in pictures
of the setup.
Mine has a crew cab and utility bed. Also, many mods to accomodate camping
(175 gal gas capacity, custom slide-in camper etc.)
