D100 vs D200 weight question

Post by IronOxide »

Have been looking at early D100 sweptys and bumped into a '63 D200. From what I've been able to gather they're pretty similar trucks except for springs (1/2 ton vs 3/4 ton). Was looking for differences in my "Standard Catalog of American Trucks" and it lists the '63 D100 Sweptline 122" w.b. weight as 3600 lbs vs 4105 lbs for the D200 122" w.b. Sweptline. Can't believe the 3/4 ton springs are 500 lbs heavier, so wondering what I'm missing - or are these numbers not right?

Thanks!

- heavier springs front and back, mounts and hardware
- Dana (posi) or spicer (open) heavier than 8 3/4
- 2 piece wheels, tires, front spindles, rear axles
- heavier, 12" brakes all around

all adds up . .

I don't think those designations are true. The Spicer Corp and Dana Corp were the same company and many times the name Dana-Spicer was used.
1946
Spicer Manufacturing Corporation is renamed Dana Corporation in recognition of Charles Dana's 32 years of leadership. Spicer becomes the brand name for the company's driveline products.
