In Reply to: How many 1961-1971 W300s out there? posted by Dave on Friday, September 23, 2005 at 8:47PM :
There seems to be a lot more that are surfacing in the last few years, which amazes me...
I have owned about (20) W300s, most of them 1961-71 models. I have not owned any 65-67 Pie Pan headlight models.
Even managed to find and buy (4) rare Crew Cab W300s, and have the only known factory Perkins Diesel Powered W300.
They are great trucks, monsterous in size, bigger than ANY light duty truck ever built.
Approximately 10,000 built from 58-71. I would think that at least 2500-3000 remain.
Most all were sold to the govt, fire dept, military, etc., very few were purchased by civilians. They were quite costly compared to a W200, $800 more, while the W200 was only $100 more than a W100, making the W200 the highest production vehicle.
I am addicted to them, and need professional help.
