W200 vs W100

I am a refugee from the http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com forum (1956 FF), but a certain non-running 1964 W200 followed me home today, so i guess I have to take it in, right?

So, my first of many questions is: what is the difference between the W200 and W100? Axles? Trans? Transfer Case?

I'll say one thing, you Sweptline guys sure do have nice big roomy cabs. And that big panoramic view - wow! But where is the windshield tilt crank? And where's the starter pedal?

Good to have you here. In 64 the only real difference between a W100 and W200 was wheelbase.A W200 could be optioned with bigger rear springs,but a W100 could be optioned with the same everything(except the long wheelbase)as a basic W200.

My '64 W200 (long w.b.) differed from a W100 I saw in the following areas:
Increased leaf spring thickness, front and rear.
Lift block between rear springs and axle.
Dana 60 rear axle.
Badging - "200" vs. "100".
Otherwise, the interior, frame, transmission (NP 4 spd), Transfer Case (NP201), and body are all the same.

Have fun with one of the best-looking years, IMHO!

W200's are just about W100's with long beds except that the rear and front springs are a little stiffer. My '62 W100 has a Dana 44 in the front and Dana 60 in the rear and same with my Dad's '64 W200. He does have a lift block in the front and a few more spacers than my W100 does. I have the heavy duty drivelines with oversized yokes(option). My Dad's truck has smaller, stock drivelines.
