Not sure where to post this, but since I do have a couple questions (and note, I am neither interested in the truck nor am in any way involved with it).
First: The VIN plate is in English and Spanish. I don't remember seeing that before.
Second: The "3 interior mirrors including a very rare self dimming model"
I don't member seeing that in the options lists I've looked at.
Third: "two different types of power steering pumps for 1961-1971 dodge pickups"
My 69 short-box didn't even have one "type of power steering pump" as an option. Was PS available at all, W or D those years?
Forth, I guess: What to make of novel-length listings

W's weren't originally equipped with power assist steering.

I do like it, ditching the funky wheel covers. Price looks reasonable, too. Seems to have a solid history, setting half of the text aside

Send me, or post, some pics. I do have an interested friend. He's looking for a short-box W, but he is handy with a torch...

power steering was an option. 61 to 71 was an assist set up.

I've never seen anything that suggests that P/S was an option in a W100, W200 or W300. There are some W500s that have a SERT number for P/S.

I posted some brochures from 1969, and I don't see power steering as an option for W100 or W200. Didn't look at W300.
