Lui,
Did you get the E-mails I sent you about brake parts and such?
As for pictures for a correct resto, I would say your truck looks pretty correct to me, and I have seen no 59 W200s that were completely original, or fully and correctly restored.
I do have an idea of what should be correct, and if you took detailed pictures of your truck I could pass them on to a couple of people who could help me find flaws.
But you must remember that Dodge did many strange things over the years, and something that is not "correct" on your truck might have been done by the factory.
What kind of info are you looking for from the pictures?
The majority of what you would see in an overall shot of a 59 W200 is the same on 59 W100s. The main difference would be the ride hieght(W200s sit a little higher) and the 6 bolt axles on the W200, vs the 8 bolt axles on the W100.
If you are looking for interior pictures, most of the dash is the same for any 59 Dodge truck. The main differences come in when a truck has a winch(there is a extra knob on the dash), or 4wd(there is an extra sticker on the dash).
The other diffences come in depending on what heater you had, if you had a custom cab or not, if you had the heavy duty gauge package, or if you had a push button automatic.
Every Power Giant era truck I have ever looked at had something obviously aftermarket done to the dash, from different knobs, to holes cut in the dash.
If you tell me what details you want to see I will do my best to find pictures that fit your needs.
Eric
