2- 4 wheel drive
2- 200 3/4 ton
6- 225 slant 6
1-warren built
459070
makes it early 1965 and should be
a 4 headlight front end short wheel base
long bed if not a crew cab and should share all parts with 61 to 64, if late 65 it will
be a long wheel base (like later sweptlines 66,67)
and have the 2 headlight front grill (pie pan grill).
8,475 were built for military that year
out of 160,792 total built that year

Should have a Dana 44 front and Dana 60 axles,
if 4 speed should have a NP420 trans, but may have a NP435,
If automaic (very rare) it will have a 727A loadfite with adaptor
for the slant engine and short rear case on trans to reach the transfer case.
