sadly, the SERT sticker is not present on this truck and shows signs of a repaint.

this is why his truck went through the wringer. Brian has sent me DOZENS of photos. it is a cool truck.

I think you are right. I have the sheets my truck was ordered from. It only shows front 6-16x5.50 rear7.00/16-6pr for D-200 dully with HPP. I have been looking for other trucks like mine i have only found one other D-200 65 with 6-16 wheels it was all so a dully. My truck has had one repaint its likely its sert sticker was lost at that time.I am working with the past owners for pic's of the truck threw out its life. Lucky for me all the documentation has stayed with the truck.It's bed was custom made at servis body in LA Cal.still has the guys business card and measurements for this truck in the book.I really enjoy this truck. Looking forward answering as much as i can. Brian

yep - i'll let Brian determine what he wants to share.

the photos he sent me were to verify the nature of the HPP aspects.

Way cool- absolutely love this truck. Looking forward to seeing some pics/ hearing more of it's history. So are the current axles geared to 4.88 as well? Hopefully you were able to find some more road-friendly 4.10's when you did the swap :lol:

I'm pretty sure the 300s came with the Dana 70 rear axle. :Thumbsup

Thanks Facechicken I wouldn't even know how to come up with a value . It has a great story that will go on. I am still working the history you know you all ways want to know more.Here''s sum of what i know Robert Brockway CEO Crown Coach Corp. (Crown Bus) the ones we road to school. He was third generation auto industry i beleave the company started in the 1800s. So he knew what he wanted.He also bought a big camper for this truck that was all the rage in the 60s. From what i can tail this truck was sent all around so. cal. Servis for the bed,Ralph travel equipment generator ,spotlight,united delco pleasure-lift system,haden cooler trans,frigiking a/c. That camper stayed on the until 1990 when my friend Pete (builder collector) bought the truck and sold the camper. I know the guy and am working on reuniting them. Took me 10 year to get the truck. I bought the truck in 2000.Will post recent pic's of camper tonight. Brian

I am a parts, service and warranty manager at a dodge/gm dealer, so I have access to a BUNCH or dodge and GM info. I can try to do some digging but records aren't usually shared between dealers on one central hub or anything....best bet would be to find the last known owner of the dealership or (if that person is dead) find someone from the family to try and track down the records that the dealership had or if they know what happened too them....my dealership has every sales record and invoice since it opened back in the early sixties....dodge's VIN system only goes back to the 80s on vins as far as I have seen so pretty sure I am not going to find anything
