I've just added a B4PW to my collection of W-300's, so I'm looking for some help on a beast I'm not as familiar with. The B4 is identified by the plate on the door post, but the truck has warn hubs and a hydrovac booster, plus 251 spitfire engine. (the radiator has been moved forward to accomadate the 251) These later model items may have been added to the B4, or the B4 cab was put on a later WM-300 chassis. Any way to date the chassis? Are there dates on the ring gear like on the Dana 70 axels? Also, which series box fits this truck (8' long?) and is it the same as 2WD '50's pickup boxes? Thanks in advance! Rob
