No, the data plate says D300. Sheet metal looks exactly like my "good" D300 and the Dana 70 axle is the same. The extra axle looks like farmer welding, as does the hinge for the dump bed, which was apparently never completed. I'll look closer once I get it on pavement, but the extra axle may in fact be a Dodge front axle off of some other truck. If so, even if the king pin is welded in place, it may be worth keeping for parts. I really hope I can turn the engine over. There's no obvious reason it should be seized up unless they had plain water in the radiator and the block froze.
