  • Finally brought home the 1980 W400!

    After almost 2 years, the W400 is in my yard! Nice rainy day cooperated for the tow home and unloading. I do have my work cut out, lots of 34 year old things to fix.

    Hooray!

    Cool!!! Its got a 4-speed!

    Is the T-case a 205?

    That'd make me a good paint wagon.

      Yes, 205 case.

      Haven't decided what to do with this one, yet. I've wanted it sooooo long!

      Thanks,
      Russell

                No interest in coal burning. The low axle gears kind of negate the mileage benefit of the Cummins. Also, I just swapped a Dodge D70 dually rear axle for a set of Thorley headers to aid in my rumbly exhaust.

                          What is the main difference between a W300 and a W400?

                          D60F and D70 rear, Frame height? Were they Cab and Chassis only?

                            The only thing I can answer is that I've never seen a W400 with a pick-up bed. They have had service bodies, firetruck or ambulance bodies, so I'd suspect all were cab & chassis.

                              W400

                              And being cab and chassis, I believe the rear 70 would be a different length than the pickup version.
