I own a 1973 Dodge w-200 with a 318ci, 4speed and a divorced t-case. This is a old Oregon forestry truck that was sold at auction. It is still the forestry department green and is mostly rust free. The only problem is that over the years we've hauled firewood in it and the bed is splitting. I've put 33inch all seasons on it, rebuilt the front spicier 60 which is a power drum brake set up, and I've removed 2 inches from the fenders. I am currently looking foe a 8 foot bed, selectro locking hubs, and a power steering set up. I'm keeping the truck the factories forestry green. I am getting ready to install a 12 inch superlift and 37 inch boggers.when I do I'll post some currjent photos.

I think you will either have a front dana 44 or a dana 70. Which side is the steering tie rod on, the front of the axle or the rear?

No its not a 44 or a 70, I got the original inspection sheet from when the truck came off the line and all the numbers match

Do you want an 8 foot Ulitine Bed? If so, here's a link. I think he is in Colorado.

I have never seen one with a dana 60 front before 1975....not saying that it isn't possible, but I have only seen dana 70's with closed knuckles and drum brakes in the front, and the dana 60 fronts that I have seen have been open knuckles and disc brakes....FWIW
