From what I have seen only the W200s could get the 8 leaf rears, but there may be other books that would prove this wrong.
It is interesting how little difference there was between the W100 and W200 in the early 60s.
I did not know you could order a 1/2 ton heavier then a standard 3/4 ton, but I have seen special order Town Wagons set up that way.
I have seen more then one factory 1966 W100 Town Wagon with a big knuckle Dana 44 front axle, LOTS of leaf springs (I never counted though), 1 ton driveshaft yokes, a LU2 winch, V8 and NP435 4spd. They were built for the US Gov. and they were pretty serious trucks.
Let me know if you figure out the LWB W100 question, my books and my memory says the LWB was added when the W100 went to 5 bolt axles in 1969.
