Does anyone have a book or source to check exactly what model
and equipment is on this truck? I'd like to know if this is
a 3/4 ton or 1 ton. It has 8-lug wheels and a 440 (I believe).
The door ID plate says:
VIN - W24BD7S023045
Mdl - W20
Mfg date - 9/76
GVW is 8000 lbs, per the plate.
I have a '79 Ramcharger, which is only 1/2T. The rear end(s)on
this '76 don't look any different - externally anyway - than on
my 1/2T '79, except for the 8-lug pattern.
I'm actually hoping it's rated at 1 Ton, because it has a dump bed on it
and I'd like to use it as a light dump truck.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
