How can i tell??

The low ride height screams 2wd to me, the 4x4's I see of that bodystyle usually sit pretty tall.

The lack of lockouts also, but not being very familiar with models you can get goofed up.

yeah my dads truck is newer but it has automatic hubs so i don't know if this is the same or not. my dad also has a manual t-case and this does not.

D = 2wd, W = 4wd

I was going to say, I think Dodge used CADs (center axle disconnect) instead of locking hubs.

I have a customer with a 4x4 250 Dodge Cummins that same bodystyle, I am pretty sure he has big lockouts that stick way out.

yep. i feel like an idiot for not realizing the d and the w meant what they did... probably why he stopped texting back after i asked him if it was a 2wd or a 4x4 for the 2nd time..lolol.

I forgot all about the D vs W thing... and I look right at a D200 everyday :blush:

Not too many W's in 1970 though... :icon_twisted:

What wahlstrom1 said.

Decent trucks, we had a pair of 87's last far longer than they should have.

Couldn't you just check for a front differential?

I do believe the original idea was to tell from the photo before driving a significant distance to look it over.
