W denotes a 4 wheel drive and a W100 did indeed have 3/4 ton axles in it but it was considered a half ton pick up. Dana 60 rear and front Dana 44 3000 lb closed knuckle . VIN plate should tell gear ratio , But you could pull the diff covers and read the info on ring gear . This will also tell you if it has a SURE GRIP. Good time to change oil. Gearing could be 4:10 or 4:88. Not sure what others were available. Have fun.

As Kim pointed out, much of your information will be found on the
VIN tag in the driver's door jam. Gear ratio possibilities.... 3.54, 4.10 and 4.88.
The stock axles are the Dana 60 and Dana 44 closed knuckle. You'll need to
check on large or small knuckle as well. They're easy to tell apart just by
looking [in addition to the VIN tag data]. If it is an original W100, there
would have been POWER WAGON emblems on either side of the hood.
