78 did power wagon w400 dump truck
Hi all

On the bottom of the hood if it's the original there should be a information label that has the gvw on it.
|
Thank you i will take a look when i get home tonight. Would engine info be there as well?
|
Just the basic cid.

Look in the door jamb of the drivers door and see if the tag place says D or W on it.
W400 where the old Ambulance or Paramedic unit like in the movie "Squid 51" in Emergency... :) |

No, Pretty common for City's, State, Fire, and Forestry Departments to have had them back in the day.

1978 W400 Dump
W400 is a 1.25 ton Chassis, it has a longer wheel base than a standard long bed truck but most all other parts will work for a W400.
I have owned two of these truck both were fire trucks. Update: Purchased a 1977 W400 with dump bed and plow. Truck was a fire truck from Evansville Indiana. So I have now owned three of these trucks |
It's definitely a '78! that's a cooooool rig!

What motor is it?
Hey guys back again. I keep getting conflicting reports about what motor is in this truck. Some people say it's a 400 while others are saying it is a 440. Is there anyway to tell besides decoding the vin? Here are some pics of the motor maybe someone can put this to bed. Thanks!
