On the bottom of the hood if it's the original there should be a information label that has the gvw on it.

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

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!
