Went to Portland, OR today and checked out the '64 W200 Birdo mentioned in the previous forum. Owner wants $2,000. It is basically straight, not bad cancer, a few dents. 383 seems to run good, appears to be in running condition. I didn't drive it though. Has 10 bolt PTO on the t-case. Winch is definitely a funky ho-made. Comes with extra grill. Funny thing was no e-brake bands on the tranny or t-case, just the bare bracket on the t-case, tranny stil had the drum. LS rear axle must be out of a newer truck as it had e-brake cable hooked up to it (?). Owner wants to sell it without long-distance hassle of describing it and trying to represent it to people that can't come to look at it. I made a low-ball offer for my buddy, not too worried about getting it, but the price seems decent. It's rough around the edges but I think it would clean up nice. The 383/4spd/t-case PTO is pretty neat stuff, might work out for someone in the PNW. My son took some pictures if anyone else is interested.
