| Post subject: | 100 or 150 |
does anybody know what the deal is with the numerical designation for the Dodge pickups. What year did they change from the 100 to the 150 designations. My W pickup says 150 on the side of the fender but it tis a 1979 truck. Does this sound correct.for some reason I thought it should be a 100. Are the 150 a "heavier suspension" truck? Here are the specs for the truck:Rearend-9 1/4. Trans:NP435. Engine:slant with 1 bbl. Front end:dana 44 Dont know what the transfer case is.

Yep...that sums up the 150 over a 100... "D" is a 2wd, and the "W" designation is a 4x4...

Back in the "old" days Detroit got around having to put cats on the trucks by making a 5/8th's ton model. 75-78 the 150, 250, and 350's were exempt. The 100's had them. By 79 they all had them. |
