Glen,
The W100 and W200 use the same Dana 44 front axles in 1958.
The W100 uses a semi floating corporate rear axle in early 1958 and the W200 uses a corporate full floater.
In mid year 1958 the W100 got the full floater so at that point the only difference between a W100 and a W200 was the springs.
The W300 has the same bolt pattern, but Dana 70s front and rear. The W300 is a totally different truck as it is based on a D500 sized chassis, not the D100 sized chassis of a W100-W200.
Starting in 1959 the W100 got 8 bolt axles and a Dana 44/Dana 60 axle set. The W200 retained the Dana 44/full floating corp and the 6 bolt pattern, and the W300 also stayed the same. In 1961 both the W100 and the W200 were 8 bolt with 44/60 axles with the W300 staying with the 6 bolt until 1969.
