Excuse me, Detroit Lockers in a WM300? Detroit Lockers were last put in a Dodge 9-5/8" ring gear dropout diff in 1944, when the Army asked for some for the Italian theater, to deal with the horrible mud for half the year (Mussolini made the trains run on time, but I guess he didn't pave all the roads). Anyways, according to Zentmeyer, the blueprints were lost in a fire many years ago. Are you talking about Lockrights? Zentmeyer designed them himself as the first "LA Locker" ever made. Are you referring to a mongo 1-ton W300, which came with Dana 70 front, Dana 60 or 70 rear? I would be very surprised to find out about a Detroit Locker in a WM300, the Power Wagon with the wide flat fenders, 5 lug nuts per wheel and the removable 3rd member diff with 9.625" ring gear. Please clarify.
Charlie
