The rear axles that are 6 bolt are corporate unless they are a Dana 70 (W300 only), you got that right.
The front axle on all the 1957-71 W100-W200s is a Dana 44 regardless of bolt pattern. Some of the W200s in the 60s got a "Big Knuckle" 44 that the Dana/Spicer books call out as the 3500lb axle, instead of the standard 3000lb one. The most common place to find that axle is on the W200 Crew Cabs. 1958-71 W300 front axle is a Dana 70.
The bed list looks right at first glance, I would have to double check some of the 60s WB numbers to be sure.
There is one mistake, if you can call it that. The Utiline bed used on a the 1957-71 W100-W300 trucks had flat top rails that were only introduced in 1956. So while the Utiline beds that look much the same were used from 1948-85 the actual bedsides were only used 1956 and up. The D100-W100 108" WB trucks in 1957-58 got a narrow version of the 6 1/2 foot bed, which uses a narrow tailgate. Starting in 1959 all the Utiline tailgates are the same, and all the beds are the same width. In the 1957 and up era it is only the 1957-58 beds that are odd.
The rear fenders are the same from 1953-85 (2wds only in the early years), 1948-52 2wd bedsides are the same as the 1953-55 2wd ones, but the rear fenders are different.
