It is a generator.
Here is a pic. of the rocker switch to shout down the gen. from inside the cab. Also find it interesting the fender insert looks to have been under coated at the same time as the cab.The hood is also insulated.I wounder if the original owner had it done at his shop(Crown coach) or ? Brian

my PW300CC has the underside of hood insulated as well, hard to describe what the material is made of....factory I believe.
All of the W300CC I have owned or seen with a stretched frame used rivets and was doubled up, way easier for the factory (or anybody) to stretch the straight chassis of the 300 and medium trucks.

Re: 1965 crew cab dully hpp
I don't have any pics of the under hood insulation, but I will take some if it helps. It has held up surprisingly well, I used some spray adhesive many years ago to keep it in place where it needed help.

Re: 1965 crew cab dully hpp
Thanks, yes that is my '66 W100 when it was new. Dad traded it off in '73 on a new W200. I tracked down the owner and was able to buy it back last year. It's not that pretty anymore, but the /6 is easy on gas for puttering around the farm.

I might have missed it, but when / who swapped the front axle? Is it a Spicer 60 now? Doug

Hi Brian,avroadwarrior wrote: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
This is the first time I saw this thread. I really like your truck,but I have to ask. Why does the horsepower rating on the data plate match a 318 ? Am I missing something ?

Re: 1965 crew cab dully hpp
good eye Doug - there are now three HPP trucks that have 318 HP ratings and one that stamped 365 @ 3900. all others are stamped "SPECIAL".digdoug wrote:Hi Brian,avroadwarrior wrote:I think you are right.

i recognize the ones stamped with 318HP ratings simply because the mountain of parts to put a wedge into a truck is compelling proof that these trucks are in fact real.
most people would see that these truck have the proper parts such as engine, trans, and traction bars but there are also much more subtle things to look for such as heat shields, brackets and other small bits that only someone intimately familiar with a wedge truck would know.
brian's truck is very unmolested and shows many of the parts that a wedge truck should have.
keep in mind that many parts were source all across the various brands - engine is a Dodge car, engine mounts are Chrysler, traction bars are Imperial, etc. to assemble all these parts would be a monumental task.
