The 1958-60 literature only shows the Utiline box as an option on the single wheel W300 trucks.
The width of the space between the rear tires on a 1958-60 W300 with dual rear wheels did not leave enough room to put on a bed. You would have had to use the single rear wheel axle with dual tires, or something else other then the stock setup.
Obviously Dodge could have made one, but it was not a standard option. The only trucks that got dually Utiline beds were 2wds in the 1958-60 era.
Dodge only made 300 or so W300s each year from 1958-60. Total production of all W300s both V8 and 6 cyl was 834 during the 1958-60 era.
Someone out west turned on a magnet a few years ago, and ever since then most of the ones that pop up are migrating to that one spot.
