I have measured, but the dimensions I listed came from Dodge literature. I did confuse the issue with a mistype, the '65'5 W200 wheelbase is 128" the WM wheelbase is 126".
The early W200 wheel base was 122" and the back of cab to axle centerline dimension was 48", vs. 53" on the WDX-WM300.
Dodge added the 6" to the wheelbase, in 1965.5 That dimension is 54" (48"+6") from back of can to axle centerline, so the W200 dimension is 1" longer, but Dodge being Dodge, they only added 4-5" to the bulkhead to axle centerline of the new W200 beds, so they do fit, albeit tightly.
The bed in the photo doesn't look too bad.
